State Act

THE UNITED PROVINCES PANCHAYAT RAJ ACT, 1947

This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by the Uttarakhand Panchayati Raj Act, 2016 (Uttarakhand Act 11 of 2016), s.194(1); it may still apply to matters that began before then.

75- (1) Any person who wishes to institute [a civil case or a criminal case] 8 under this Act before a Nyaya Panchayat may make an application orally or in writing to the Sarpanch [and in his absence to the Sahayak Sarpanch]2 in case of [their]3 absence from the circle to such other Panch as [may have been appointed by the Sarpanch]4 in this behalf and shall at the same time pay the prescribed fee. The Court Fees Act, 1870, shall not apply to Nyaya Panchayats except as may be prescribed. In every civil case the plaintiff shall state its value. [(2) Wheere a [* * *]9 case is instituted orally, the Sarpanch, Sahayak Sarpanch or Panch receiving the application shall record without delay the prescribed particulars and the signature or thumb impression of the applicant shall be taken thereon.]5
