Section 28 of the U.P. Kshettra Panchayat & Zila Panchayat Act, 1961 was treated as consistent with this constitutional scheme because it requires support of the prescribed majority of elected members and preserves democratic control. The reservation-based challenge also failed: election from a reserved seat did not confer immunity from a no-confidence motion, and removal of the Chairperson did not defeat the reservation framework. The earlier precedent upholding the mechanism was reaffirmed as good law. en-us Fri, 28 Mar 2014 00:00:00 +0530 Sun, 25 Mar 2018 18:52:27 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=200296 Part IX of the Constitution permits State legislation regulating Panchayat composition, election, reservation, disqualification and functioning, and a statutory no-confidence procedure against a Zila Panchayat Adhyaksha is not invalid merely because the Constitution does not expressly mention it.
