State Of H P And Ors Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The challenge in this bunch of writ petitions under Article 226 of the Constitution is to the notifications issued by the State Government in exercise of the powers under Sections 4 and 5 of the Himachal Pradesh Panchayati Raj Act, 1968 (for short, "the Act").

(2.) We have quoted the provision in the form in which it has been printed in the Manual because one of the submissions made on behalf of the Petitioners by their Counsel is founded upon it.

(3.) Expression "village" has been defined in Section 3(I)(ff) to mean 'any local area, recorded as a revenue estate in the revenue records of the district in which it is situated or any other local area which the Government may, by general or special order, declare to be a village'.
