Judgment
CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH --- Present: Mr. M.S. Mohali, Advocate, for the petitioner. .. SATISH KUMAR MITTAL, J. (Oral) The petitioner, who claims himself as elected Panch of Gram Panchayat of Village Bairampur, Tehsil and District Ropar, has filed this petition for quashing the election of Sarpanch of the Village Gram Panchayat on the ground that he was not permitted to participate in the proceedings held on 19.7.2008 for the election of Sarpanch. With this petition, the petitioner has not annexed any document showing that he was declared elected as a Panch of the Gram Panchayat. Neither the election result nor the notification issued under Section 13 of the Punjab Panchayati Raj Act, 1994 has been annexed. Even otherwise, if the petitioner alleges that the Sarpanch was wrongly elected without following the procedure, it is always open to the petitioner to question the election of Sarpanch by filing an election petition under Section 76 read with Section 89 of the Punjab State Election Commission Act, 1994. In view of this, we do not find any merit in this petition and the same is hereby dismissed. (SATISH KUMAR MITTAL) JUDGE October 20, 2008 ( JASWANT SINGH ) JUDGE
