KEDAR SHASHIKANT DESHPANDE ETC.ETC. vs BHOR MUNICIPAL COUNCIL & ORS. ETC.ETC.

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision affirming the disqualification of certain members of the Bhor Municipal Council under the Maharashtra Local Authority Members Disqualification Rules, 1987. The Court found that the resignation and subsequent formation of a new political entity by the councillors violated the provisions of Rule 3(1)(a) and Rule 4(1) of the Rules, which govern the disqualification of members. Consequently, the petitions challenging the High Court's ruling were dismissed, maintaining the integrity of the electoral process.
