Ram Kishore Goyal And Others vs State Of Punjab And Others on 4 April, 2012
The argument of the learned counsel for the petitioners is
that no opportunity of hearing was granted and that objections were not
decided. Still further, it has been argued that name of the Gram
Panchayat was not mentioned in the draft or final notification. It has
been further argued that the boundaries have been extended five times
and the house tax would be imposed without facility and negates the
mandate of the Constitution, establishing the Panchayats under Part IX
of the Constitution. The learned counsel for the Petitioner relies upon
Division Bench judgments of this court reported as Harjinder Singh and
others v. State of Punjab, 2002(1) RCR (Civil) 610; Kamaljeet Singh v.
State of Punjab through Principal Secretary to Government of Punjab,
Local Government Department, 2002(3) RCR (Civil) 438 and Sewa Singh
v. State of Punjab, 2001(3) RCR (Civil) 292.
