He further submits that the signatures on the proposal for No Confidence Motion were also not verified. It is further submitted that the petitioners were not given sufficient opportunity to present their case. 4.

Hence, no interference is warranted. 3. From the perusal of the record, it would reveal that 9 members of the Gram Panchayat had given notice for moving the No Confidence Motion to the Collector, on 15/12/2008. A meeting was, therefore, convened on 20/12/2008 in which all the 15 members were present. The petitioners were also present in the said meeting. In the said meeting, the No Confidence Motion was passed by a majority of 10 votes against 5. Thus, it could be sen that the requirement of 2/3rd majority stands complied with. Since the petitioners were also present in the meeting and they had the opportunity of hearing, it cannot be said that any prejudice is caused to them. In that view of the matter, no interference is called for in the extraordinary jurisdiction of this court under Article 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India. Hence, rejected. grt/ [B.R. GAVAI, J.]
