CHAPTER VIII Penalties and Procedure

Section 107-A: Validity of proceeding

The Uttar Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act, 1947

How current this text is

Text as published by India Code for the Government of Uttar Pradesh, with amendments up to U.P. Act No. 6 of 2017.

Chapter VI (The Nyaya Panchayat), sections 42 to 94-A, is printed only as a heading with the official footnote "Chapter VI comprising sections 42 to 94-A Omitted by sec. 16 of U.P. Act No. 6 of 2017.", so those sections have no pages here.

The marginal headings printed beside each section in this edition are shown as the section headings; sections 37, 37-A, 95-A and 109 carry no marginal heading in this copy.

Marginal references to other enactments (for example "U.P. Act No. I of 1951") printed beside the text are not reproduced.

[Except as otherwise provided under this Act, a Gram Sabha, ¹[Gram Panchayat] or any committee thereof, shall have power to act, notwithstanding any vacancy in the membership or defect or irregularity in the enrolment of a member thereof, and any proceedings in any Gram Sabha, Panchayat or committee shall be valid notwithstanding that there was any defect or irregularity in the enrolment of any member or that some person, who was not entitled so to do, sat or voted or otherwise took part in the proceedings, provided, however, that at least two-thirds of the persons present at the time of the act being done were not disqualified to be members.]²
