Report by Akshya Rout, Jajpur: The election of a lady Sarapanch was set aside by the Civil Judge (junior division) of Chandikhola  on Saturday  as the court found the elected Sarapanch of Badabalikuda  Gram Panchayat under Dharmasala  block in Jajpur district was an illiterate person.

Jhili Behera a dalit woman  had been elected from Badabalikuda  Gram Panchayat  last year  by defeating Rinarani Behera  .At the time of filing of nomination paper,  the Rinarani  strongly opposed the nomination paper  of  Jhili  before the election officer and demanded to reject her nomination paper as she was an illiterate lady.  But the election officer rejected the plea of Rinarani  and  the nomination paper of  Jhili Behera  was declared valid .

The defeated  candidate filed a case against the elected Sarapanch and alleged that as per section- 11(B) of Orissa  Gram Panchayat Act an illiterate person is not entitled to work as Sarapanch. The court after examining the evidence set aside the election of Jhili Behera as the Sarapanch of the Gram Panchayat.
