Mr. Anup Dasgupta Mr. Dilip Kumar Shyamal …for the State/alleged contemnor nos.1 &2. In Re: WPA 17156 of 2026 Affidavit of service filed by the applicant/petitioner is taken on record. The petitioner who is the erstwhile Pradhan of Chandmoni-II Gram Panchayat has assailed the meeting held on 3rd July, 2026 in terms of Memo dated 17th June, 2026 and the notice dated 7th July, 2026 fixing the date of meeting for election of a new Pradhan on 17th July, 2026. The private respondents concede to the prayer of the petitioner and submit that the motion and other 2 consequential steps taken pursuant thereto including the notices and the meetings be quashed. By an order passed on 2nd July, 2026 in MAT 1035 of 2026, an Hon’ble Division Bench of this Court has held that the motion loses its validity after a period of 30 days. In effect, the Hon’ble Division Bench has quashed/set aside the motion. In view thereof, the consequential steps taken by the Prescribed Authority pursuant to the said motion including the notice of meeting issued on 17th June, 2026, the meeting held on 3rd July, 2026, the notice of meeting for election of new Pradhan issued on 7th July, 2026 and the meeting held on 17th July, 2026 are also deemed to be quashed/set aside. Liberty has been granted by the Hon’ble Division Bench to the requisitionists/private respondents to bring another motion in accordance with law. Till such motion is submitted and considered, the petitioner who was removed from the post of Pradhan in violation of the order passed by the Hon’ble Division Bench as well as this Court be reinstated as the Pradhan of the Panchayat. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall, however, be no order as to costs. Since no affidavit is invited, the allegations contained in the writ petition are deemed not to have been admitted. 3 Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. In Re: CPAN 1025 of 2026 This Court is informed that the applicant/petitioner has filed a contempt application before the Hon’ble Division Bench of this Court for violation of the order of the Hon’ble Division Bench. The present application alleges violation of the order passed by this Court on 17th July, 2026. The issues in both the applications are inter-related. In view of the pendency of the contempt application before the Hon’ble Division Bench, the present application is adjourned. (Suvra Ghosh, J.)
