Panchayat Raj Act did not bar appointment of Nyaya Panches merely because some Gaon Panchayat seats were still vacant, as the statutory scheme allowed appointment from duly elected persons and later filling of remaining vacancies. The challenge based on Achhaibar Singh's alleged illiteracy also failed because Rule 85 required Hindi literacy in Devanagari script and the material did not prove non-compliance. By contrast, a conviction under Section 182 of the Indian Penal Code was held to involve moral turpitude under Section 5-A(h), so Baijnath Singh was disqualified and his appointment as Nyaya Panch was invalid. en-us Thu, 08 May 1958 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:59:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=150399 Section 43 of the U.P.
