The Indore Bench of the MP High Court dismissed a challenge to a demolition notice for road widening under Section 305. The analysis covers master plan primacy, Article 300A, the suppression of material documents that led to costs of Rs. 20,000, and what the Court left open.
The MP High Court's Gwalior Bench resolves a long-standing drafting gap in the MP Municipalities Act, 1961, holding that limitation for an election petition against a Municipal President runs from the date of election at the Council's first meeting, not from any Gazette notification. The Court also imposed costs of Rs. 1,00,000 on a party for raising a maintainability objection it knew to be baseless.
