    Case Summary: WPA 12374/2026 - Bhadu Sekh & Ors. v. State of West Bengal The High Court at Calcutta struck down a no-confidence motion against the Pradhan of Sripur-II Gram Panchayat on procedural grounds. The court found that the notice served on the Pradhan was undated and did not match the dated notice given to the prescribed authority, violating Section 12(2) of the West Bengal Panchayat Act, 1973, which requires identical copies. Additionally, the court held that notices to Gram Panchayat members were served on 6th June 2026 by hand delivery, failing to meet the mandatory requirement of service at least 7 clear days before the meeting. The motion was quashed as fundamentally defective, though requisitionists were permitted to resubmit a fresh motion complying with statutory procedures. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
