Gurdeep Singh & Ors vs State Of Punjab & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the procedural validity of the Municipal Council election under Section 20 of the Punjab Municipal Act, 1911 and Rule 3 of the Punjab Municipal (President & Vice-President) Election Rules, 1994. The Court upheld the High Court's order directing the convener to resume the election process from the point of adjournment, allowing only those members present to vote, thereby establishing that a walkout does not invalidate the election process. The appeal by Gurdeep Singh and others was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
