Bifurcation of Panchayats does not provide for opportunity of hearing.

Bifurcation of Panchayats cannot be challenged on ground that no notice was served upon villagers and members of Panchayat as such bifurcation is legislative function. No mala fides can be attributed to such legislative act.

Declaration of Sabha area is legislative function and principles of natural justice would not apply to same. Notification constituting a Gram Sabha or abolishing a Gram Sabha is an act of legislature and, thus, cannot be challenged on grounds, which are available for an administrative or quasi-judicial order. Since bifurcation of Panchayat itself is a legislative act, no mala fides can be attributed to legislative act. The maxim audi alteram partem is not applicable, even on necessary implication, meaning thereby, declaration of Sabha area, in terms of S.3 of the Act, does not contemplate much less envisages issuance of notice, opportunity of filing objections and even hearing before ordering bifurcation of Panchayats
