-S.162 - Lady member elected Vice President of Grama Panchayat - President & Vice President Ex-Officio members of standing committee - Lady Vice President cannot contest for the seat reserved for women in the standing committee - By the election of the third respondent the strength of membership of the standing committee is not maintained. Thus, a reasonable interpretation of the Rules prevents the Ex-Officio members from contesting again. I also rely on the legal maxim 'electa una via non datur recursus adalteram' - he who has chosen one way cannot have recourse to another. In this case, the third respondent had already become a member of the standing committee by virtue of her position as Vice-President. Therefore, she cannot become a member of the standing committee by another process. - Alicekutty v.Kadambazhippuram Grama Panchayat - 1996 (2) KLT 203 : 1996 (2) KLJ 121.
