RAJASTHAN PUBLIC COMMISSION AJMER vs SHIKUN RAM FIRODA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to annul the declaration of Gram Panchayat Roopbas as a Municipal Board, citing the absence of a public notification under Article 243Q(2) of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that the provisions of the 74th Amendment Act, 1992, which introduced Part IXA into the Constitution, require clear criteria for the designation of urban local bodies. The ruling reinforces the necessity of adhering to constitutional mandates for local governance structures.
