The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition, which sought to allow the Standing Committee of the Pune Municipal Corporation to continue functioning despite the expiry of its term. The court reasoned that the appointment of an Administrator under the Maharashtra Municipal Corporations Act, 1949, effectively dissolved the Standing Committee's authority. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the government's decision to appoint an Administrator.
