Because no provision authorised action against the Upa-Sarpanch and Ward Members under that provision, notices issued to them were without jurisdiction. For the Sarpanch, the Court noted that Section 37(5) requires an opinion based on relevant material and application of mind; reliance on complaints and a report, with specific charges framed, satisfied that threshold. The notice to the Sarpanch was therefore not shown to be illegal. en-us Mon, 18 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 01 Jun 2023 20:36:16 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=308133 The Telangana Panchayat Raj Act, 2018 was read as distinguishing the Sarpanch from the Upa-Sarpanch and Ward Members, and the removal or suspension power in Section 37(5) was confined to the Sarpanch alone.
