In a writ petition filed by the President, Municipal Council Udhampur, respondents herein, challenging the No Confidence Motion moved against him, the learned writ Court passed the impugned interim order dated 21.09.2022, directing that, as the petition raised important questions of law, as such, the stand of official respondents was necessary in the matter and awaiting the reply of the respondents, directed to proceed with the voting on No Confidence Motion, pursuant to the impugned no confidence motion dated 09.09.2022 and notice dated 19.09.2022 and further directed that the result of the voting was not to be declared and be kept in a sealed cover by respondent No. 4, till next date of hearing. 3. Learned counsel for the appellants submits that the impugned order has been passed without considering the preliminary objections raised by them regarding maintainability of the petition in view of Section 275 of the Jammu & Kashmir Municipal Act.
