THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS SECOND APPEAL No.30 OF 2009 JUDGMENT: The appeal is filed by the Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad challenging the order in M.A.No.246 of 1996 on the file of Chief Judge, City Small Cause Courts, City Civil Courts, Hyderabad, where-under the annual rental value, which was increased by the appellant herein, was reduced from Rs.6/- per square feet to Rs.3/- per square feet by the learned Chief Judge. 2. According to the counsel for the appellant, the premises is located in a busy locality and the rental value is fixed at Rs.6/- per square feet in accordance with the provisions of the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act. 3. The order of the learned Chief Judge shows that there is no material to arrive at the annual rental value fixed by the appellant as being reasonable. In fact, it is the grievance of the land owner that the rent was being paid less than what was assessed by the appellant. This enhancement of the rent was only for the period from 01.04.1996 to 1998 and subsequently, other revisions have taken place and the tax was enhanced from time to time and as per the Zonal regulations and also the amenities provided by the Municipality the Government has fixed rental value and the tax was assessed accordingly and being paid by the land owner. 4. Therefore, in view of the above circumstances and also taking into consideration in matters similar of nature relating to the property situated at Himayathnagar, the same rental value was fixed by the Chief Judge and enforced by the Corporation. I do not find any reason to interfere with the order of the learned Chief Judge. 5. Accordingly, the Civil Miscellaneous Second Appeal is dismissed. No costs. _______________________ N.R.L.NAGESWARA RAO,J Date:13.07.2011 INL
