However, for brevity, the facts are being derived from CWP-8043- 2018. 2.

It has also been noticed in the notification (Annexure R-1) that the roster for the office of Sarpanch of Gram Panchayat shall be notified minimum 15 days prior to the presentation of the nomination papers. However, this Court feels that the time of 15 days is grossly inadequate. 6.
