    Case Summary: WPA 811/2026 The High Court at Calcutta dismissed the writ petition filed by Sunam Kalowar, the Pradhan of Gitaldaha-I Gram Panchayat, challenging a notice issued for her removal meeting. The court held that the removal notice issued on 1 June 2026 was valid because it was issued after the mandatory two-and-a-half-year statutory period under Section 12(12) of the West Bengal Panchayat Act, 1973, had expired since her election on 11 August 2023. The petitioner's argument that a proposed amendment extending this period to three years applied was rejected, as the amendment bill had not received gubernatorial assent.
