Reported in: AIR1965Kant227; AIR1965Mys227; (1964)2MysLJ211

K.S. Hegde, J. (1) These petitions came up before me and Ahmed Ali Khan, J. on September 4, 1963. After hearing Counsel for the parties, we referred the question, whether Rule 11(2) of the Rules framed under the Bombay Municipal Boroughs Act (to be hereinafter referred to as the 'Act'') is a valid Rule, to the decision of a Full Bench. This reference became necessary in view of the decision of this Court in (1963) 2 Mys LJ 83, the correctness of which was seriously challenged before us by the learned Counsel for the petitioners. If that decision is held to lay down the law correctly, then Rule 11(2) must be held to be invalid. As we were of the opinion that the decision in question may require reconsideration, we referred the above question of law for the decision of Full Bench.(2) The material facts bearing on the question under consideration are as follows: In about the beginning of 1963, a calendar of events for the general election to the Belgaum Municipal Borough was duly publishe...
