Procedural lapse: HC quashes removal of panchayat member

Justice Anoop Kumar Dhand, while hearing the writ petition of Puranmal Verma, pointed out that numerous cases of Panchayat members’ removal across the state have been marred by “failure to adhere to the mandatory provisions and procedures outlined in Rule 22 of the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Rules, 1996.”

The court added that “Inquiry Officers are not well-versed with these provisions, leading to errors in their orders.” This has resulted in several wrongful removals, and the court stressed the importance of ensuring proper application of the law in these proceedings, it added.
