SC: Why do babus' wives hold ex officio posts in societies?

Supreme Court criticizes bureaucrats' wives holding posts in societies within their husbands' administrative regions, dubbing it a colonial practice.

The court urges a model bylaw to prevent ex-official positions for family members of administrative authorities.
