Whether Sub-section (2) of Section 10 of the Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act 1976 (for short 'the Act') which provides for one year tenure of a Mayor from the date of his election contravenes any provision of part IX-A of the Constitution and is constitutionally invalid is the short question which arises for consideration in this bunch of three cases two of which are writ appeals (writ appeal No. 3005-06 and 3416 of 2004) and the third is a writ petition (writ petition No. 43155 of 2004).
