SH.AJAY RAMDAS RAMTEKE vs MAHANAGAR SUDHAR SAMITI, AKOLA

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the Mahanagar Sudhar Samiti, an unregistered aghadi, could be recognized for representation under Section 31A(2) of the Maharashtra Municipal Corporations Act, 1949. The Court held that since the application for registration was not processed, the aghadi could not claim rights to representation, thus upholding the High Court's decision to quash the Standing Committee's resolution. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the aghadi's non-registration invalidated the resolution for proportional representation.
