Under these circumstances, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that notice issued fixing the ‘No Confidence Motion’ is not tenable. 3. Learned counsel for the respondents on the other hand would submit that the reasons for no confidence need not be specified in the requisition. In case the petitioner finds fault with the requisition, the petitioner is at liberty to raise such an issue in the meeting scheduled for the said purpose. - 5 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:7222 WP No. 102072 of 2025 4.
