Section 38(4) Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act | FIR Under Prevention of Corruption Act Triggers Automatic Suspension of Sarpanch Without Departmental Enquiry : Rajasthan HC

Rajasthan High Court rules that registration of an FIR under the Prevention of Corruption Act is sufficient grounds for suspending a Sarpanch under Section 38(4) of the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act, bypassing the need for a prior departmental enquiry. The ruling reinforces swift action against alleged corruption in local governance, impacting elected representatives across Rajasthan.
