https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=292481 Section 14(e) of the Punjab Municipalities Act, 1911, was examined for allowing the State Government to vacate a municipal member's seat on grounds of public interest without notice or hearing. The Court compared it with section 16(1), which covered overlapping grounds but required communication of reasons and an opportunity to submit a written explanation, and found that the more drastic power in section 14(e) could be used to bypass those safeguards.

Section 14(e), to that extent, was declared unconstitutional under Article 14, and the notifications issued under it were set aside. en-us Wed, 03 Feb 1965 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 16:29:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=292481 Section 14(e) of the Punjab Municipalities Act, 1911, was examined for allowing the State Government to vacate a municipal member's seat on grounds of public interest without notice or hearing.
