Traders ...Petitioner(s) v. Municipal Committee, Ferozepur & Anr. ...Respondent(s) CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Shri S.C. Chhabra, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Shri Rajneesh Chouhan, Advocate, for respondent No.1. Shri G.S. Attariwala, Additional Advocate General, Punjab for respondent No.2. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia , J. (Oral): In the present writ petition, a prayer has been made by the assessee that the Municipal Committee, Ferozepur has gravely erred in enhancing the house tax of the demised premises from Rs.350/- to Rs.500/- per month and, therefore, the order at Annexure P-1 dated March 26, 1990, whereby the house tax was enhanced, be quashed. A Division Bench of this Court, on July 19, 1991, had admitted the writ petition and ordered that the enhanced amount of house tax be not recovered till further orders. By efflux of time and due to inflation, the amount of Rs.150/- has lost the significance which it had in the year 1990- 91. During the course of arguments, Counsel for the parties agreed that in case the amount of interest is not charged by the Committee, the enhanced amount shall be paid by the petitioner. This arrangement is also Civil Writ Petition No.10660 of 1991 -: 2 :- given sanction by this Court as the enhanced amount could not be paid by the petitioner due to the stay granted by this Court. This writ petition is disposed of by directing the petitioner to deposit the enhanced amount of Rs.150/- per month as per the impugned order from the date of its issuance till date. However, the Municipal Committee will not charge any interest. [Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia] December 13 , 2010. Judge kadyan
