https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=293513 Section 87-A(12) of the U.P. Municipalities Act was interpreted to mean that a no-confidence motion is carried when votes in favour exceed half of the total membership, and no artificial rounding of an odd total is permitted. Applying that construction, the Court treated eight votes out of fifteen as sufficient because they amounted to more than half of the board's strength. The provision's use of the phrase "more than half" was held deliberate and not redundant, so the motion was validly carried and the challenge failed. en-us Thu, 20 May 1993 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 15 Feb 2021 10:04:24 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=293513 Section 87-A(12) of the U.P.
