A bench of Justice A K Goswami on Monday issued notice to the Assam Government for arbitrary inclusion of the two Gaon Panchayats–Sukafa and Lengibor Gaon Panchayat comprising 11 villages of Dhopabar Mouza.
Saikia’s counsel Syed Burhanur Rahman contends that Notification number GAG (B) 26/91/57 dated 17.06.92 the Sub Division of Nazira was reconstituted and the entire Dhopabar Mouza was made the part of the Nazira Revenue circle.
