SOLAPUR MIDC IND. ASSN. vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA & DORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of writ petitions challenging a notification under Section 3(3) of the Bombay Provincial Municipal Corporation Act, 1949, which expanded the territorial limits of the Solapur Municipal Corporation. The Court found no flaws in the statutory provisions leading to this enlargement and clarified that the Bombay Provincial Municipal Corporation Act, 1949, and the Maharashtra Industrial Development Act, 1961, operate in separate fields without conflict. The Court emphasized that the State Government had not withdrawn the industrial area from the Corporation's jurisdiction as required under Section 56 of the 1961 Act, thus affirming the applicability of both statutes.
