In the present Writ Petition, the petitioner has prayed for quashing of the order at Annexure-1 dated 22.07.2013 by which the Panchayat Samiti Bonth-Opposite Party No.5 directed the petitioner to hand over all the office keys and the other materials, since he has been disengaged as Night Watchman-cum-sweeper as per the resolution passed by the Panchayat Samiti dated 12.09.2012. 4.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner relying on the paid resolution of the Panchayat Samiti obtained through RTI at Annexure-12 that, there is patent discrepancy in the resolution, which has been relied upon by the Panchayat Samiti at Annexure-A/5 and the resolution obtained through the RTI.
