    Case Summary: WP(C) /2906/2026 Sri Tarun Chandra Das challenged the Director of Land Records & Survey's order (dated 22-05-2026) that quashed his appointment as Gaon Pradhan of village Bherua and instead favored private respondent Bakul Kalita. The court found prima facie merit in the petitioner's argument that preferential marks should only apply when candidates' base marks are equal, citing precedent judgments. The Gauhati High Court adjourned the case to 15.07.2026 and granted interim stay of the impugned order, allowing the petitioner to continue as Gaon Pradhan pending final disposal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
