Procedural Posture

Civil Appeal / On Appeal From the Judgment and Order of the High Court Dated 20.09.2023

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether Appellant No.1 was entitled to the protection of sections 3 and 4 of the Maharashtra Temporary Extension of Period for Submitting Validity Certificate (for certain elections to Village Panchayats, Zilla Parishads and Panchayat Samitis) Act, 2023
  2. 2 Whether the proceedings of 19.06.2023 holding the No Confidence Motion against Appellant No.2 as not carried for want of the requisite votes is tenable

Ratio Decidendi

Appellant No.1 was not entitled to the protection of Section 3 of the Temporary Extension Act, 2023 because his application for a Validity Certificate had been disposed for non-compliance/rejected and was therefore not a valid pending application on the date of commencement of the Act; he stood automatically disqualified for failing to produce the Validity Certificate within the statutory period and was not entitled to vote, and consequently the No Confidence Motion against the Sarpanch was duly carried; the High Court judgment was therefore affirmed.
