Farida Bibi vs The State Of West Bengal & Ors on 2 September, 2016

Secondly, it has been clearly stated in the decision mentioned herein above (Gopal Kumar and Anr. Vs. State of West Bengal and Ors.) that issuance of notice for convening such meeting itself indicates the satisfaction of the prescribed authority as regards acceptability of such motion. In that view of this case, I do not find any illegality in requisitioning such meeting by the prescribed authority in terms of the notice dated 25th August, 2014 of respondent no. 10 to 12 and 15 to 22. Mere non-mentioning of political identity in the notice will not render the entire notice illegal. More so, when the prescribed authority has verified the political identity of the requitionist before convening such meeting.

Section 12(1) provides that the removal has to be made by majority. A harmonious construction of section 12(1) and 12(2) of 11 the said Act would show that the Pradhan can be removed by a majority of the members of the gram panchayat at a meeting specially convened for the purpose and such meeting shall be held pursuant to a requisition brought by one third of the members of the gram panchayat which shall be not less than three members, indicating their intention to remove the Pradhan or their lack of confidence.

Tapas Panda vs The State Of West Bengal & Ors on 10 April, 2015

(o) ............................................................................... In view of the aforesaid Supreme Court decisions, I cannot convince myself to accept the contention of the respondent no. 3 that an award passed by the Registrar or any Officer authorized by him under Section 128 of the said Act need not disclose any reason. So far as the decision of the Division Bench of this Court in the case of Gopal Kumar & Anr. (supra) cited by Mr. Bhattacharyya, in the said case, the subject matter of challenge in the writ petition was not a decision of a quasi-judicial authority under any statute. The question of law that arose for consideration by the Division Bench, in the said case is stated in paragraph 2 of the said decision as follows:

The next contention of Mr. Das is that the law does not prescribe that an elaborate hearing has to be held by the prescribed authority before taking any decision.
