Mr. Sharad Kadu, Adv., for the appellant. Mr. S.R. Deshpande, Adv., for respondent. ----- CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI AND F.M. REIS, JJ. DATE : 20th July, 2009. 1. Heard learned Adv. Mr. Kadu for the appellant and learned Adv. Mr. S.R. Deshpande for the respondent. 2. Contention is that Water Meter was already disconnected, and there was no supply, still water charges are being recovered by respondent from appellant-licensee. It is pointed out to us that the recovery is as per bills served by Nagpur Municipal Corporation. The appellant was a licensee, and has been evicted after following the procedure prescribed under Bombay Govt. Premises [Eviction] Act, 1955. Payment of water charges for a canteen run by appellant was his obligation. 2 3. In the circumstances, we do not find anything wrong with the findings recorded by learned Single Judge. 4. Learned Adv. Mr. S.R. Deshpande has contended that Writ Petition before learned Single Judge was under Article 227 of the Constitution of India and, therefore, Letters Patent Appeal is not maintainable. 5. In view of our above finding, we have not considered this objection. 6. Letters Patent Appeal is dismissed. Judge Judge |Hedau| 3
