HIREMATH, ADVOCATE FOR R2) THIS WRIT PETITION IS FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226 AND 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TO ISSUE APPROPRIATE WRIT, ORDER OR DIRECTION IN THE NATURE OF CERTIORARI QUASHING THE IMPUGNED NOTICE DATED 29-11-2024 BEARING ST NO. ACKWR-ELEOGPE/03/2024 ISSUED BY 1 RESPONDENT PRODUCED AT ANNEXURE-A. THESE PETITIONS COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING IN ‘B’ GROUP THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING: - 32 - WP No.

107065 of 2024 C/W WP No. 106514 of 2024 WP No. 106661 of 2024 ORAL ORDER (PER: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PRADEEP SINGH YERUR) In all these batch of matters, the petitions have been filed by the Adhyaksha/Upadhyaksha/Members of the Gram Panchayats, questioning the validity of issuance of notice violating the provisions of Section 49 of the Gram Swaraj and Panchayat Raj Act, 1993 and Rule 3 of the Karnataka Gram Swaraj and Panchayat Raj (Election of Adhyaksha and Upadhyaksha of Taluk Panchayat) Rules, 1994. 2. In view of the interim order granted by this Court, stay in some matters and not to precipitate in some of the matters, the proceedings are stalled.

In view of lapse of time, learned counsels representing the respondents, and the members of the Gram Panchayats including the learned Additional Advocate General representing the State submit that the moot question and the crux of the matter raised in these petitions is the illegality in issuance of notice, non following and contrary to section 49 of the Gram Swaraj and Panchayat Raj Act and Rule 3 of the Rules of 1994. The - 33 - WP No. 107065 of 2024 C/W WP No. 106514 of 2024 WP No. 106661 of 2024 meeting date fixed by the Assistant Commissioner has already lapsed, the respondents submit before the Court that this matter could be disposed of on the ground that the respondents would initiate fresh process for issuance of notice in all the cases. 3. Respondents in the cases who are impleaded and the respondents who are not impleaded and members of the said Gram Panchayat are at liberty to move, if necessary, by following due process of law.

The submissions of learned counsels for respondents would certainly make sense considering the fact that the ‘no confidence’ is moved, which is an imminent fact by some of the Members whether it has followed procedure or not, same is to be decided by the Court. However, in order to expedite issues and to follow the provisions of the Act and the Rules in its letter and spirit, it would be in the interest of all the parties, to dispose of these matter. 4. The submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners and respondents are accepted and the matter - 34 - WP No. 107065 of 2024 C/W WP No. 106514 of 2024 WP No. 106661 of 2024 could be disposed of in the following manner. Accordingly, I pass the following ORDER i) These petitions are disposed of.

ii) Liberty is reserved to the respondents/Members of respective Gram Panchayats to initiate the process in cases so required and as advised, in accordance to the provisions of the Gram Swaraj and Panchayat Raj Act and the Rules as contemplated therein and take suitable actions in accordance with law. iii) It is made clear that this Court has not adverted to the merits of the matter. iv) All questions are left open to be decided in appropriate cases, if any, filed including the issue of maintainability and the locus, as and when required.
