Consider the following statements regarding the term and dissolution of a Municipality under the 74th Constitutional Amendment: 1. A municipality reconstituted after premature dissolution continues for a fresh term of five years. 2. No law amendment can cause the dissolution of a municipality before the expiry of its five-year term. Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct? |ForumIAS

[A] 1 only

[B] 2 only

[C] Both 1 and 2

[D] Neither 1 nor 2

Answer: B

Notes:

Explanation:

A municipality reconstituted after premature dissolution does not get a fresh five-year term. It continues only for the remainder of the term of the dissolved municipality.
The Act clearly states that no amendment of any law in force shall lead to the premature dissolution of a municipality before the completion of its five-year term.
