STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS.

Clause (b) of sub-section (1) of section 5 of the Mumbai Municipal

Corporation Act (III of 1888) provides that the Corporation shall consist of

five nominated councillors having special knowledge or experience in the

Municipal Administration and clause (b) of sub-section (2) of section 5 of the

Maharashtra Municipal Corporations Act (LIX of 1949) provides that each

Corporation shall consist of such number of nominated councillors not

exceeding five having special knowledge or experience in the Municipal

Administration.

2.

A person having knowledge and experience in the Municipal

Administration is nominated as a councillor for more effective

administration of municipal corporations in the State. With a view to

qualitatively improve the functioning of the corporations by utilizing the

knowledge and experience of the members so nominated, the Government

considers it expedient to increase the number of nominated members from

five to ten, in the Municipal Corporation of Brihan Mumbai; and from not

exceeding five to not exceeding ten per cent. of the total number of elected

Councillors or ten, whichever is less in the other Municipal Corporations in

the State. It is, therefore, proposed to amend section 5 (1)(b) of the Mumbai

Municipal Corporation Act and section 5 (2)(b) of the Maharashtra Municipal

Corporations Act, suitably.

3.

The Bill seeks to achieve the above objectives.
