Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Full Bench decision of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, which overruled a Division Bench's interpretation of Section 138(b) of the Madhya Pradesh Municipal Corporation Act, 1956. The Court reaffirmed that the earlier decision in Municipal Corporation, Indore v. Smt. Ratna Prabha binds the High Court, as it correctly interpreted the provision despite the Division Bench's conflicting view. The Court found no grounds to entertain the special leave petition challenging the Full Bench's ruling.
