U.P. GRAM PANCHAYAT ADHIKARI SANGH vs DAYA RAM SAROJ .

The Supreme Court examined the constitutional validity of the Uttar Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act 1947, particularly in light of the Constitution (Seventy-third Amendment) Act, 1992, which introduced Article 243G. The Court held that the amendment empowers the State to devolve powers and responsibilities to Panchayats, thereby enabling them to function as self-governing institutions. The Court upheld the Government Orders transferring services of employees to Gram Panchayats, affirming that such transfers align with the directive principles under Article 40 and Article 37 of the Constitution.
