Section 41 Nagaland Municipal Act 2023 | Chairperson’s Inherent Power to Reshuffle Committees Upheld; State Interference Quashed as Ultra Vires : Gauhati HC
Gauhati High Court reinforces that a Municipal Chairperson’s power to reconstitute sub-committees under the Nagaland Municipal Act, 2023 is inherent and not subject to state government interference unless explicitly restricted by statute. The ruling quashes the State’s advisory as ultra vires, affirming local self-governance autonomy for urban local bodies in Nagaland.
