Bare Act

The Bombay Disqualification of Municipal Councillors (Removal of Doubts) Act, 1958

This Act clarifies the rules for municipal councillors in the State of Bombay by removing any legal uncertainty regarding their eligibility. It specifically states that a person cannot be disqualified from serving as a councillor simply because they hold an advisory position with the State Government or receive payment for attending committee meetings. By explicitly stating that these roles and allowances do not automatically disqualify a candidate, the law ensures that experienced individuals can serve on municipal bodies without fear of losing their status due to their public service or government appointments.
