Union Territories & Panchayats
(a) The validity of any law delimiting Municipal constituencies or allotting seats cannot be questioned in any court. (b) A Municipal election can only be challenged through an election petition presented to whatever authority state law designates, not through ordinary litigation.
This mirrors Article 243-O (Panchayat elections) for Municipalities: constituency-drawing decisions can't be challenged in court at all, and election disputes must go through a dedicated election petition process rather than ordinary lawsuits.
Just as with Panchayat elections, someone challenging a Municipal Corporation election result must use the specific election petition process state law provides, not an ordinary court case.
