    Case Summary: WP(C) 89/2026 The High Court of Meghalaya set aside a suspension order of Sordar (village headman) Sukher Nongrum dated 28.11.2025 and the Executive Committee's stay order dated 23.02.2026, finding that the suspending authority—Lyngdoh/Basan of Raid Mawlieh—lacked jurisdiction. Under the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Act 2024, only the Syiem (chief) or Acting Syiem and Executive Dorbar possess authority to suspend a Sordar; this power cannot be delegated to subordinate officials. The court remanded the matter to the Syiem for fresh disposal within two months, maintaining status quo pending reconsideration. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
