1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.6167 OF 2010 Tatya Haribhau Shinde ..Petitioner -VERSUS- The State of Maharashtra and others. ..Respondents ......... Mr.M.B. Kolpe, advocate for petitioner. Mr.D.R. Korade, A.G.P. for respondent nos.1 to 3. ........ (CORAM : V.R.KINGAONKAR,J.) DATE : 14th July, 2010. PER COURT : 1. Heard. 2. The petitioner was Upsarpanch of village panchayat. A notice of no confidence motion was issued. The special meeting was arranged in pursuance to the notice and was presided over by the Tahsildar, Osmanabad, on 11.01.2010. Out of 11 members, 10 members voted in favour of no confidence motion and only, the petitioner, who has participated in the proceedings, gave vote against it. It was contended that the petitioner had taken action against other members on account of encroachment over the government land, and therefore, vindictively they moved a motion. 2 It was further contended that one of the vote was erroneously counted in favour of motion though it was given against the motion. The learned Collector and Additional Divisional Commissioner have concurrently held that there was no legal defect in conducting meeting. Mere fact that the petitioner had taken action against other members will not show that no confidence motion was not acceptable. Petition is dismissed for want of substance.
