WP 1142/11 1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.1142/2011 Vilas Vinayakrao Kadi V/s The State & others. _______________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | Shri D.P. Palodkar, Advocate for petitioner. Shri K.S. Patil, AGP for respondent no.1. Shri A.M. Karad, Advocate for respondent nos.2 & 3. CORAM: B.R. GAVAI & M.T. JOSHI, JJ. Date: 13.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The limited grievance of the petitioner is that though he had gone to the office of the respondent – Corporation on 18.1.2011 to deposit the betterment and land development charges at the old rate, the same were not accepted and the petitioner was required to pay the same at the new rates under protest. Shri A.M. Karad, learned counsel for the respondent nos.2 & 3, on instructions WP 1142/11 2 from the Assistant Director of Town Planning of the Municipal Corporation, Aurangabad, fairly states that the respondent – Corporation would only accept the rates at the old rates and the amount, which is deposited in excess, shall be returned to the petitioner. The petition is, therefore, allowed with a direction to the respondent nos.2 & 3 to refund the excess amount deposited by the petitioner within a period of four weeks from today. (M.T. Joshi, J.)
