 Abstract

 For the success of Panchayati Raj system more than the cooperation of the State Government sand the Central Government, the Judiciary has to play its effective role to make thissystem more vibrant. The suppression of Panchayati Raj Institutions(PRIs), election disputes, investing Panchayats with judicial power, Panchayat’s power to levy tax, disqualification of members, and other related issues are the crucial aspects which have a bearing on the development of our future political process. The judiciary in India has been setting things right whenever Legislatures have been acting arbitrarily. Under these circumstances the judicial intervention in matters relating to Panchayats has become necessary. In this paper an attempt has been made to discuss briefly the role of the judiciary in upholding the principles of democratic decentralization.
