ISSUE:
Whether the Haryana Panchayati Raj (Amendment) Act, 2015 (Act 8 of 2015) is constitutionally valid or not?
RULE:
Those who aspire to get elected to those civic bodies and administer them must set an example for others. To the said end if the legislature stipulates that those who are not following basic norms of hygiene are ineligible to become administrators of the civic body and disqualifies them as a class from seeking election to the civic body, such a policy, in our view, can neither be said to create a class based on unintelligible criteria nor can such classification be said to be unconnected with the object sought to be achieved by the Act.
