Village heads in UP cannot be permitted to continue as administrators: Allahabad HC
PRAYAGRAJ: Holding that gram pradhans or village heads cannot be permitted to continue as administrators, the Allahabad High Court has asked the Uttar Pradesh government to specify a time frame for conducting panchayat polls in the state.
Justice Siddhartha Nandan on a petition filed by Arbind Rathor passed the order. Rathor moved the court challenging order dated May 25 as well as consequential order the next day.
According to the May 25 government order, existing gram pradhans were appointed as administrators following the completion of their five-year term.
