1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Writ Petition No.188 of 2008. [Sumitra Umeshrao Chavan] Vs. [The Additional Commissioner, Amravati and others] ---------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram,appearances,Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Shri S. A. Gordey, Advocate for the petitoner. Coram: A. H. JOSHI, J. Dated: 17th January 2008. The petitioner's grievance is that the requirement of sub section (2) of Section 33 that Sarpanch or Up- sarpanch, who is subjected to vote of no confidence, should be permitted to participate in the proceedings, and speak, yet he has not been so allowed. 2. Reliance is placed on minutes urging that the minutes do not reveal that such opportunity was given. 3. Perused minutes rather reveal that after reading of notice point-wise 2 discussion was held. 4. It would have been ideal, had the Presiding Officer recorded that the Sarpanch was permitted to speak and deliberate. The omission to mention, however, does not prove the petitioner's point. 5. Considering the fact that the resolution has been passed with a division of 13 in favour, and one against, no interference is called for. Petition is dismissed. JUDGE Sbm
