STATEMENT
The number of councillors of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation has
been increased from 227 to 236 by the Mumbai Municipal Corporation (Second
Amendment) Act, 2021 (Mah. II of 2022). The work of boundries demarcation
and ward delimitation is under process by the corporation. As per the existing
provisions of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act (III of 1888), the existing
term of the corporation will be expired on the 7th March 2022. The State
Election Commission has communicated to the State Government that due
to COVID-19 Pandemic situation in the State, changing of OBC reservation
in the corporation due to order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court and the work
of boundaries demarcation and ward delimitation of the corporation is in
process, therefore, it is not possible for the State Election Commission to
conduct the general election of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation in time
and, therefore, requested the Government to appoint the Administrator on
the corporation after the expiry of the term of the corporation.
2.
It is, therefore, considered expedient to make suitable provision in
the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, so as to appoint any Government
officer as an administrator, to exercise all the powers and perform all the
functions and duties of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation, by inserting new
section 6C in the said Act.
3.
As both Houses of the State Legislature are not in session and the
Governor of Maharashtra is satisfied that circumstances exist which render
it necessary for him to take immediate action further to amend the Mumbai
Municipal Corporation Act (III of 1888), for the purposes aforesaid, this
Ordinance is promulgated.
Mumbai,
BHAGAT SINGH KOSHYARI,
Dated the 17th February 2022.
