CORAM :K.J. ROHEE AND R.C. CHAVAN, JJ. DATED :DECEMBER 04, 2007. 1. Heard Mr. A.J. Kadu, Advocate for the appellant. 2. The appellant was the Sarpanch of Gram Panchayat, Kharbadi. On 22.1.2007 a meeting was held for considering no confidence motion against the appellant. On that day 7 out of 8 members of the Gram Panchayat were present. The appellant moved an application that voting should be taken by secret ballot. On 2 his prayer voting was taken and it was decided by majority of six versus two that voting should not be taken by secret ballot, but by raising of hands. Thereafter, no confidence motion came to be carried. Since even, on the prayer of the appellant, voting was taken by the Presiding Officer, we do not think that there is breach of any rule. Thus, there is no merit in the appeal. The same is, therefore, dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE asg
