Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the disqualification of the appellant under Section 55B of the Maharashtra Municipal Councils, Nagar Panchayats and Industrial Townships Act, 1965, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court found that the appellant's conduct as President of the Uran Municipal Council was unbecoming, particularly regarding unauthorized construction and failure to hold mandatory meetings as required by Sections 44, 45, 52, 53, and 81 of the Act. The Court ruled that the disqualification for six years was justified based on the established violations.
