Referring Section 62 of Haryana Panchayati Raj act, 1994, it was argued that for requisitioning of no confidence motion, the majority is required i.e 2/3rd and since 7 to 8 members withdrew their support, therefore new meeting cannot be convened. Justice Thakur clarified that, as per section 62 of the Panchayati Raj Act, majority is required only at the time of meeting when there is no confidence motion tabled against the petitioner and the majority is not required at the time of requesting of the meeting for tabling the no-confidence motion.
