WP(C) 4749/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B D AGARWAL Heard Sri B Rahman, learned counsel for the writ petitioner as well as Smt H M P hukan, learned Government Counsel appearing on behalf of the State respondents. In view of the limited prayer of the petitioner, this writ petit ion is being disposed of at the admission stage itself. The petitioner’s case is that Barkhetri Anchalik Panchayat is ru nning the Mukalmua weekly market on its own without settling the same with any p erson. According to the learned counsel, the tender notice was issued in the mon th of May 2010, but the tenders were not accepted by the concerned authority. Ho wever, the concerned authority and the Zila Parishad has not taken any steps to settle the matter in accordance with law. Section 105 of the Assam Panchayat Act , 1994, stipulates that markets have to be settled by way of tender process. Hence, the Barkhetri Anchalik Panchayat is directed to float ten der notice for the aforesaid market within 6 (six) weeks from the date of produc tion of a certified copy of this order and the market shall be settled in accord ance with law.
