JUSTICE B.M.SHYAM PRASAD) The appellant is unsuccessful in her challenge to the notice of ‘No-Confidence Motion’ under the relevant Rules, and now, the appellant has filed a memo for withdrawal of the appeal but seeking liberty. When queried on the liberty, Sri.Venkatesh M. Kharvi, the learned counsel for the appellant, submits that because election proceedings will be initiated for filling up the posts of Vice-President and President with the ‘No-Confidence Motion’ being carried successfully, the appellant must be granted liberty to challenge the same, if there is cause. This Court must opine that the withdrawal of this appeal draws curtain on all grounds that would be available against the present cause and if there is a subsequent cause, the appellant will be at liberty to avail remedy as permissible under law.
