As per case facts, Petitioner Anjuman, elected Sarpanch, was removed after a complaint by Respondent Salma alleged fake educational documents and illiteracy. Inquiries found Anjuman ineligible, leading to her removal ... by the Deputy Commissioner and subsequent dismissal of her appeal by the Divisional Commissioner. Anjuman filed a Writ Petition challenging these Orders, claiming promotion to Class 9 under the Right to Education Act, 2009, meant she was deemed 8th pass, despite her mark-sheet showing '0 Ab' marks. The question arose whether promotion to Class 9 without appearing for the 8th-class examination fulfills the "middle pass" qualification required for a Sarpanch under the Haryana Panchayati Raj Act, 1994. Finally, the High Court found no merit, stating "middle pass" is mandatory and the Petitioner, not having appeared for the 8th-class examination, does not possess the required minimum educational qualification, thus dismissing the Writ Petition.
