What is the role of a competent Legislature or other competent authority in amending or repealing laws related to municipalities?
The role of a competent Legislature or other competent authority in amending or repealing laws related to municipalities is to do so if they find that any provision of such law is inconsistent with the provisions of Part IXA of the Constitution, which deals with municipalities. This is as per Section 166 and Section 243ZF of the Act, provided that all the Municipalities existing immediately before such commencement shall continue till the expiration of their duration, unless sooner dissolved by a resolution passed to that effect by the Legislative Assembly of that State or, in the case of a State having a Legislative Council, by each House of the Legislature of that State.
