(ORAL) The present writ petition has been filed by the President of Municipal Council, Maur, Tehsil and District Bathinda, with a prayer that resolution dated 9.4.2010, Annexure P7, whereby majority of the members passed `No Confidence Motion' by 2/3rd majority be set aside. Counsel for the petitioner submits that this resolution was not CWP No.7472 of 2010 [2] passed in consonance with the provisions of Punjab Municipal Act, 1911 (hereinafter to be referred as, `the Act'), as no notice was served upon the petitioner in accordance with the provisions of Section 25(3) of the Act. It is further submitted that no agenda of the meeting was circulated. Mr.Daman Dhir, Advocate appearing for respondents No.7 to 18 submits that subsequently another meeting was held on 30.6.2010 at 9.30 A.M. in the office of Municipal Council, Maur, which was attended by 12 Municipal Councilors, who again passed `No Confidence Motion'. Municipal Council, Maur consists of 15 Municipal Councilors. 12 Municipal Councilors are against the present petitioner. Apparently, the petitioner has lost the majority and 2/3rd Municipal Councilors are against him. Twice `No Confidence Motion' has been passed. At this stage, counsel for the petitioner submits that he has a right to challenge the second resolution passed on 30.6.2010. The petitioner may do so. Once the second resolution has been passed, the validity of first resolution becomes academic. Hence, the present writ petition is disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to challenge the second resolution. ( KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA ) August 11, 2010. JUDGE RC
