STATE OF MAHARASHTRA vs MUMBAI UPNAGAR GRAMODYOG SANGH

The Supreme Court addressed the constitutionality of provisions under the Bombay Municipal Corporation Act, 1888, specifically Sections 372(g) and 385, which mandate the disposal of dead animal carcasses by their owners. The Court held that while the owners have a right to ownership, the restrictions imposed by the Act are reasonable and necessary for public health and safety, thus not infringing upon their fundamental rights under Article 19(1)(f) and Article 31. The Court upheld the provisions, ruling that the obligation to dispose of carcasses and the associated fee do not violate constitutional rights.
