KHALIL SEIKH Vs. ASMAN SK

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This mandamus appeal is at the instance of the private respondents in a writ-application and is directed against an order dated November 18, 2009 passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court by which His Lordship disposed of the said writ application by holding that the notice dated 23rd October, 2009 issued by the present appellants did not require the Pradhan of the concerned Gram Panchayat to convene a meeting in terms of section 16 of the West Bengal Panchayat Act (hereinafter referred to as the Act).

(2.) Being dissatisfied, the private respondents have come up with the present appeal.

(3.) Mr. Sanyal, the learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the appellants, vehemently contended before us that the learned Single Judge, while recording the finding that the notice dated October 23, 2009 did not require the Pradhan to convene a meeting as there was no request for holding such meeting, totally misread the contents thereof, particularly, the last sentence of the said notice where specific request was made for calling of a meeting in accordance with the Act. MR. Sanyal, therefore, prays for dismissal of the writ application after setting aside the aforesaid finding recorded by the learned Single Judge.
