Amrik Singh
v.
State of Punjab & Ors.
{Decided on 23/12/2009}
For the Petitioner: Mr. Gurdial Singh Jaswal, Advocate.
Punjab Panchayati Raj Act, S.216--Fixing liability of members of Panchayats--Procedure for--Impugned order directing Block Development and Panchayat Officer to recover loss to gram Panchayat by initiating proceedings under Section 216 against petitioner--It not final order--It merely initiates an action and petitioner will have adequate opportunity to explain that he is not so liable and an order could be passed only after giving notice--Even if such an assumption should be made petitioner will still have remedy under Section 216(3)--Writ petition dismissed being premature on wrong assumption that liability has already been cast on petitioner.
