OM PRAKASH Vs. D M GHAZIPUR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) M. Katju, J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel.

(2.) THIS writ petition challenges the notice under Section 15 of the U. P. Kshetra Panchayat and Zila Panchayat Adhiniyam calling for a meeting of no confidence against the petitioners who were elected as Pramukh and senior Up-Pramukh of the Kshetra Panchayat. Learned counsel for the petitioner urged that the notice was delivered to the Collector on 3-10-1997 whereby the meeting has been called on 2- 11-1997. Hence he submitted that the meeting was being held beyond thirty days which is against Section 15 (3) (i) of the Act. We are not in agreement with this submission. In our opinion, the day on which the notice was given has to be ex cluded and hence the notice was not later than thirty days. Moreover, this is not a fit case for interference under Article 226 of the Constitution.

(3.) A certified copy of this order may be given to the learned counsel on pay ment of usual charges within two days. Order accordingly. .
