The Supreme Court held that the village of Mawkher, including Bara Bazar, is not part of the Shillong Municipality as per Schedule VI, Paras 6 and 20 of the Constitution of India. The Court clarified that the 1934 notification only ceded jurisdiction for municipal administration without merging the villages into the Shillong Municipality. The High Court's ruling was quashed, affirming the District Council's authority over Bara Bazar and allowing the appeal.
