The Saglani-led group had earlier filed no-confidence motion against the chairman, Yeshwant Madkar on March 18 but, the discussion notice was delayed by 43 days.
“This is like murdering democracy and government knows only court language. We will approach the High Court on Monday against this delay” Saglani warned.
“When no-confidence motion was filed against me, the discussion was held within seven days but, now they are taking 43 days which is totally wrong,” he claimed.
After the recent by-election in Ward 9, Saglani-backed Rajendra Ameshkar was declared elected. The group now has seven councillors.
According to the group, the discussion on the no-confidence motion is scheduled on April 30.
Councillors — Raya Parsekar, Rajendra Ameshkar, Rajesh Sawal, Kinda Madkar, Jyoti Blegan, Riyaj Khan and Pravin Blegan were present.
