For composition of Municipalities, there is no limitation that there shall be only one member from one Ward, as more than one member from one Ward is also permissible

In cases, where there is more than one member from one Ward all will become the member of the Committee. All the members of the Municipality representing a Ward can also be members of the Committee. In such cases, there is no breach of the provision of Article 243S(3) of the Constitution of India. Article 243S (3) of the Constitution cannot be read to mean that, from one Ward more than one members cannot be made representatives. There is a Constitutional limitation to the effect that there shall be only one member from one Ward.

The Legislature of a State has to provide all matters relating to or in connection with the election to the Municipalities, which includes filling of the seats in the Municipality by the person chosen by direct election. There is no indication given by the Constitutional Mandate, as to the election of the sole member in the Municipality from one Ward or if, it can be a multiple-member constituency.

The constitutional provisions, which provides for the composition of Municipalities engrafts the limitation that a member of the Municipality representing a Ward shall be a member of the Ward Committee. On the issue of reservation of seats for weaker section of society Supreme Court remarkably held that the entire purpose and object of reserving seats for weaker sections is to empower the weaker sections, i.e., women, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, when there are more numbers are reserved for weaker sections their participation in the municipality is bound to increase giving strength to their voice and effective participation which is nothing but the empowerment of weaker sections. Hence it cannot be accepted that when there are only one representation from one Ward only then empowerment of weaker sections can be made.
