Bombay High Court: <\/strong>Stating that in the democratic setup, the will of the majority is the rule, the Division Bench of S.V. Gangapurwala and Shrikant D. Kulkarni, JJ., held that if the directly elected Sarpanch fails to call the meetings of the Panchayat or acts in a manner rendering the functioning of the Panchayat at a standstill, the member of the Panchayat would certainly get a right to move a motion of no confidence.<\/p>\n

\n

Factual Background<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\n

The petitioner was directly elected Sarpanch of the Gram Panchayat and a no-confidence motion was passed against him by the members of the Gram Panchayat.<\/p>\n

By the present petition, the petitioner assailed the vires of Section 35(1A) of the Maharashtra Village Gram Panchayat Act, 1959 to the extent of giving authority to the members of the Gram Panchayat to move no-confidence motion against directly elected Sarpanch.<\/p>\n

\n

Analysis, Law and Decision<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\n

High Court observed that the statutory provisions can be challenged on two counts:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The legislature lacks the authority and power to frame the provision<\/li>\n
  2. The provision is arbitrary, irrational and does not have rational nexus with the object in view and thereby violative of the Article 14 of the Constitution of India.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In the instant case, the legislative powers of the State were not in question,<\/p>\n

    \n

    State possesses the legislative powers to enact the provisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    The only challenge was on the ground that the said provision was arbitrary and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution.<\/p>\n

    \n

    The Village Panchayat Act casts additional duty\/responsibilities upon the Sarpanch. If the Sarpanch fails to convene without sufficient cause the meetings of the Panchayat in any financial year according to rules prescribed in that behalf, he shall be disqualified from continuing as a Sarpanch for remainder period of the term as provided under Section 36 of the Village Panchayat Act.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Further, the panchayat would include the elected members so also Sarpanch and Up-Sarpanch though directly elected.\u00a0 The decisions have to be arrived at by the Panchayat for the betterment of the villagers.<\/p>\n

    The Bench remarked that, if the sarpanch fails to perform his function and\/or acts in a manner detrimental to the interest of the Panchayat and villagers or is guilty of such acts of omission or commission, so as to affect the functioning of the panchayat, then the members certainly would be justified in bringing about no-confidence motion against him.<\/p>\n

    \n

    The Village Panchayat Act does not make distinction in the nature of duties, powers, functions and responsibility of Sarpanch on the basis of he being elected by the villagers or by the members of the Panchayat.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    High Court noted that for a directly elected Sarpanch further protection is provided that motion of No-Confidence is to be passed by 2\/3rd<\/sup> members and further the said no-confidence motion is to be ratified before the Gram Sabha by the secret ballot.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    In Court\u2019s opinion, if the villagers in the Gram Sabha do not ratify the no confidence motion passed by the members of the Panchayat the no-confidence motion would fail. The executive power vests with the Gram Sabha viz villagers.<\/p>\n

    While concluding the matter, Bench stated that the Village Panchayat Act has provided proper check and balance for passing a no-confidence motion against a directly elected Sarpanch and the said provision is rational, reasonable and does not suffer from vice of arbitrariness ergo not violative of the Article 14 of the Constitution of India.<\/p>\n

    In view of the above, petition was dismissed. [Ashruba Namdeo Kharmate v. State of Maharashtra, 2022 SCC OnLine Bom 840<\/b><\/a>, decided on 11-3-2022]<\/p>\n
