NANHOO MAL & ORS. vs HIRA MAL & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the right to vote or stand for election to the office of the President of the Municipal Board is governed by the U.P. Municipalities Act, and challenges to the election process must follow the statutory procedure, specifically through an election petition after the election. The Court found that the High Court's interference under Article 226 was not permissible as the Act provides no remedy at an intermediate stage. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order setting aside the election was overturned.
