Suresh Seth vs Commissioner, Indore Municipal ...

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal challenging the High Court's order regarding the election of the Mayor under the M.P. Municipal Corporation Act, 1956, noting that the term of the elected Mayor had expired, rendering the appeal infructuous. The Court declined to issue directions for expeditious disposal of election petitions or for amendments to the Act, emphasizing that such matters are within the legislative domain and cannot be mandated by the judiciary. The Court cited precedents including Supreme Court Employees Welfare Association vs. Union of India (1989) 4 SCC 187 and A.K. Roy vs. Union of India (1982) 1 SCC 271 to support its position on legislative authority.
