CHANDRAKANT KHAIRE vs DR. SHANTARAM KALE & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that a properly convened meeting cannot be postponed without proper adjournment procedures. The Court affirmed the High Court's finding that the Municipal Corporation meeting on May 6, 1988, was not adjourned sine die but merely suspended, allowing it to reconvene later the same day. The Court emphasized that if a meeting is adjourned without a definite time, it could lead to significant legal anomalies regarding the term commencement of elected Councillors under Section 6(2) of the relevant Act. The petition was dismissed, upholding the High Court's decision.
