Khasi Hills Autonomous District (Constitution & Functions) Act, 2024 | Only Syiem or Executive Dorbar Can Suspend Sordar : Meghalaya HC
Meghalaya High Court rules that under the Khasi Hills Autonomous District (Constitution & Functions) Act, 2024, the power to suspend a Sordar rests exclusively with the Syiem or Executive Dorbar. Any suspension by subordinate authorities is ultra vires and void, even if aligned with customary practices. The ruling reinforces jurisdictional limits on traditional authority structures in Meghalaya.
