Bihari Lal Rada vs Anil Jain (Tinu) & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the election of the appellant as President of the Municipal Council, Hisar was invalid as the office was reserved for candidates from the general category, per the Notification issued by the Competent Authority. The Court emphasized that only members elected from the general category had the right to contest for the President's position, thus upholding the Division Bench's decision to quash the election. This judgment reinforces the principle of reservation in local self-governance as per Article 40 of the Constitution.
