Question
Which of the following best describes the constitutional
status of municipal institutions created under Part IXA of the Constitution?Solution
After the 74th Constitutional Amendment, Municipalities became constitutional institutions under Part IXA. Articles 243Q–243ZG guarantee their existence, tenure, reservation, and elections. Unlike statutory bodies, they cannot be abolished at the whim of State legislatures. However, their functional and financial powers depend on State laws. This reflects the constitutional vision of decentralization without fragmentation, ensuring urban local governance within the State framework. Courts have recognized municipalities as essential democratic units, but not as sovereign entities.
