the recommendation of the Screening Committee in furtherance to the orders of the State Government. Surprisingly by the order impugned dated without any reason or rhyme and affording opportunity to the petitioners, the State Government has cancelled the order dated 23.5.2009. In the order it is specified that the benefit of four tier grade scale of pay allowed to the Doctors shall remain unchanged but the benefit of grade scale of pay is withdrawn however the said circular is contrary to the spirit of the new Rules and in violation of the principle of natural justice, therefore, it may be quashed. The petitioners have challenged the constitution of the Nagar Parishad on the ground that the Notification is contrary to the provisions of the Act and also as there is no urban activity therein, therefore, the Gram Pancahayat cannot be made to loose its existence; that the residents of the villages do not pay any taxes viz. octroi (entry tax) or house tax whereas the inhabitants of a Nagar Parishad will have to pay the same to the Nagar Parishad. It is further contended that the Notification is not in the interest of residents of the villages. Further, challenge has been made on the ground that the Notification is bad in law, because the procedure prescribed under Section of the Act and the principles of natural justice have not been followed, hence the impugned Notification is contrary to the observations made in para of the judgment rendered by the Apex Court in the case of State of Maharashtra and another vs. Jalgaon Municipality,. In this bunch of writ petitions it is also contended that the Notification is also contrary to the provisions enshrined under Article of the Constitution of India, as the term of the existing Panchayat had not expired and the same would be prejudicial to the interest of te existing elected body of the Gram Panchayat. Controverting the aforesaid submission, counsel for the respondents/State assiduously urged that the Notification has been issued in accordance with the statutory provisions of Section of the Act. He also raised an objection
