ORAL ORDER
(Per
: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MOHIT S. SHAH)
Mr
SV Parmar for the appellant states that till today the State
Government has not issued any notification under Section 264(1) of
the Gujarat Panchayats Act, 1993 which ought to have been issued as a
consequential notification upon issuance of the notification dated
20.7.2006 reducing a part of the area of the Surat District Panchayat
and merging it into the municipal limits of Surat Municipal
Corporation.
Mr
Parmar vehemently submits that the aforesaid inaction on the part of
the respondent authorities is not bonafide because when there was
bifurcation of Surat district into Surat and Tapi districts, the
number of members of the District Panchayat was immediately reduced
from 45 to 31 by notification dated 7.1.2008.
Notice
for final disposal returnable on 19th November 2008.
Direct
service is permitted.
