As per case facts, the Petitioner's election as Sarpanch was declared null and void by lower courts, based on his disqualification for having more than two children after a cut-off ... date as per the Orissa Grama Panchayats (Amendments) Act, 1994. This decision arose from a dispute over the date of birth of his fourth daughter; the Petitioner claimed one date using a recently issued birth certificate, while the Election Petitioner presented school records showing an earlier date, leading to disqualification. The Petitioner appealed to the High Court challenging the evaluation of evidence by the lower courts. The question arose whether the lower courts correctly determined the daughter's date of birth and the Petitioner's subsequent disqualification, particularly concerning the evidentiary value of a post-litigation birth certificate versus school records. Finally, the High Court dismissed the Writ Petition, affirming the lower courts' judgments. It found no infirmity in their findings that the Petitioner failed to establish the claimed date of birth due to discrepancies and the untimely issuance of the birth certificate, upholding the disqualification.
