ZILE SINGH vs STATE OF HARYANA .

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 13A of the Haryana Municipal Act, 1973, which disqualifies individuals with more than two living children from municipal membership. The Court held that the original drafting of the proviso created absurdities, allowing disqualified individuals to regain eligibility after one year. The subsequent Haryana Municipal (Second Amendment) Act, 1994 corrected this by substituting 'after' with 'upto', aligning the law with legislative intent. The Court affirmed the validity of the Second Amendment, ensuring consistent disqualification for those exceeding the child limit.
