HC grants temporary relief to Belagavi mayor and corporator in ‘office of profit' case
Belagavi: The Karnataka high court on Tuesday granted temporary relief to Belagavi mayor Mangesh Pawar and corporator Jayant Jadhav, whose membership in the Belagavi City Corporation (BCC) was recently disqualified over allegations of holding an office of profit. The court stayed the disqualification order passed by urban development (UD) secretary Deepa Cholan on June 29, allowing both elected representatives to retain their positions pending further hearings. The matter has been posted for the next hearing on Monday. The disqualification was based on a complaint filed by social activist Sujit Mulgund, who alleged that both corporators acquired commercial outlets owned by BCC at Tinisu Katte through a public auction in Dec 2020. The properties were registered in the names of their wives. According to the UD secretary's order, the corporators failed to declare the BCC outlet obtained through public auction after being elected in Sept 2021, thereby violating Section 26(1)(K) of the Karnataka Municipal Corporations (KMC) Act. The disqualification was enforced following an inquiry led by Belagavi regional commissioner SB Shettennavar and confirmed by secretary Cholan. The high court's interim order is being seen as a significant victory for both corporators and the BJP, which holds a majority in the BCC.
