Zaman, the learned counsel appearing on Page No.# 3/4 behalf of the petitioners. Ms. N. Borah, the learned counsel appears on behalf of the P&RD Department and Ms. U. Das, the learned Additional Senior Government Advocate appears on behalf of the District Administration. 2. The present petition has been filed by two petitioners challenging elections of the respondent Nos.7 & 8 to the present writ petition. A perusal of the contents of the writ petition reveal that the respondent No.7 was elected to Ward No.1 of 45 No. Sonapur Rubhi Gaon Panchayat and the respondent No.8 was elected to Ward No.10 of 45 No. Sonapur Rubhi Gaon Panchayat. 3. First and foremost, the filing of one single writ petition challenging the separate elections of the respondent Nos.7 & 8 is not permissible. 4. Secondly, this Court takes note of Section 129 of the Assam Panchayat Act, 1994 (for short, ‘the Act of 1994’). A perusal of the said provision and more particularly Clause (b) of Section 129 stipulates that no election to any Panchayat shall be called in question except by an election petition presented within 60 days from the date of declaration of the election results to the Tribunal constituted under Section 127 of the Act of 1994. 5. This Court further takes into account that in terms with Section 127 of the Act of 1994, the Governor of Assam with the Page No.# 4/4 recommendation of the Gauhati High Court, had constituted the Panchayat Election Tribunals by the Notification dated 04.10.2025. The said Notification is kept on record and marked with the letter 'X'. 6. The above aspects therefore clearly shows that the present writ petition cannot be entertained for which the same stands dismissed. 7. No costs. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
