AMIR AHMAD vs RAM NIWAS AGRAWAL

The Supreme Court held that under Section 9(d) of the U.P. Municipalities Act, 1916, the place of residence mentioned in the notification of election or nomination is determinative of membership in a Municipal Board, and any change of residence after election is irrelevant. The Court clarified that even if a member changes residence post-election, it does not affect their membership status in the Municipal Board. The appeal against the High Court's decision was allowed, affirming that the votes of certain members were improperly counted due to their failure to take the oath of allegiance.
