Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of a writ petition challenging a no confidence motion notice issued under Section 15 of The U.P. Kshettra Panchayats and Zila Panchayats Adhiniyam, 1961. The Court found that the appellant's claims regarding the validity of signatures and the notice period were unsubstantiated, as the notice was sent after the appellant refused to receive it personally. The Court concluded that the no confidence motion was validly passed by a majority, affirming the High Court's decision and rejecting the appellant's grounds for challenge.
