    Case Summary: WP/6033/2026 The High Court of Bombay dismissed the petitioners' writ petition challenging a Divisional Commissioner's order that partially quashed disqualification proceedings against Gram Panchayat members. The court held that disqualification under Section 14(1)(j-3) applies only when a Sarpanch or member themselves commits encroachment, or their family members/dependents do so—not when they merely facilitate encroachment by others. Since evidence showed only Respondent No. 5 actually committed encroachment, the disqualifications of Respondents 4 and 6 were rightfully quashed, though they could face separate removal proceedings under Section 39 for alleged misconduct or neglect in duty. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
