https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=302572 The statutory scheme for municipal governance required Section 27 of the Bihar Municipal Act, 2007 to be read harmoniously with the provisions on election, removal and nomination of the Mayor. Because executive power vested in the Empowered Standing Committee and its members were nominated by the Mayor, the tenure of those members could not continue after the nominating Mayor left office.
