Sec. 181 with the approval of the Panchayat and such authority, shall, immediately on receipt of the report, take appropriate action and intimate the decision taken thereon to the President.]

NOTES

Officers and employees of the Panchayat, other than contingent employees are Government servants. Hence, Panchayat employees, to whichever category they belong, other than the contingent employees, and matters relating to their conditions of service are governed by S. 15(1)(b) of the Administrative Tribunals Act. The same applies to Municipal service also. There is no provision in the Constitution requiring separate service or staff for the Panchayats or Municipalities. Hence services for the Panchayats and Municipalities are part of Government and public services. - Santhosh Kumar A. v.
