The Pradhan of the Alal Gram Panchayat

under Gazole Development Block, Malda, Smt.

Laxmi Halder is personally present in Court.

It is submitted that petitioners have refused

to perform work on rotational basis. In view of a

practice followed in all Gram Panchayats that

allotment of work is done on rotational basis, the

petitioners shall be allotted duties and shall perform

the same on rotational basis immediately.

The Pradhan explains that she expected the

B.D.O. to submit report as directed by this Court in

its order dated February 10, 2021.

The conduct of the Pradhan is reprehensible.

She is warned against repeating the same. The

B.D.O., Gazole and the D.M., Malda shall monitor

the activities of the Pradhan, inter alia, in allotment

of duties to the Supervisors under the Gram

Panchayat as a whole.

Let a copy of this order be sent to the D.M.,

Malda and the B.D.O., Gazole. The report of the I.C.,

Gazole Police Station dated March 9, 2021 be kept

with the record.

The writ petition is disposed of.

There shall be no order as to costs.

The personal presence of the Pradhan is

dispensed with.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this

judgment, if applied for, be given to the parties upon

compliance of all formalities.
