Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's decision regarding the improper compliance with Section 9 of the Karnataka Municipalities Act, 1961, which mandates proper notification procedures for altering municipal limits. The Court emphasized that the failure to post notifications at requisite places invalidated the inclusion of certain areas within the municipal limits. Consequently, the appeal by the State of Karnataka was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
