Part IXA · CHAPTER VI.—SUBORDINATE COURTS
Article 243ZG Bar to interference by courts in electoral matters.
This article keeps courts out of Municipality election mechanics. The validity of laws on delimitation and seat allotment cannot be questioned in court. An election to a Municipality can be challenged only by an election petition. The petition goes to the authority the State law provides. Election disputes stay inside that process.
- Notwithstanding anything in this Constitution,— (a) the validity of any law relating to the delimitation of constituencies or the allotment of seats to such constituencies, made or purporting to be made under article 243ZA shall not be called in question in any court; (b) no election to any Municipality shall be called in question except by an election petition presented to such authority and in such manner as is provided for by or under any law made by the Legislature of a State.
