JUDGMENT

¶87

W.P.(C) Nos.1314, 1372, 1804 & 1965 of 2023 Dated this the 2nd day of February, 2023

¶88

These writ petitions are filed challenging the enhancement of licence fee collected from the occupants of buildings belonging to the respondent Municipality.

¶89

It is submitted that the petitioners are occupants of shop rooms in a shopping complex belonging to the 3^rd respondent Municipality and that lease agreements had been executed by them with the Municipality. Rent was also being paid by the petitioners on the basis of the agreements. It is submitted that by the notice dated 14.9.2022, the Secretary has informed the petitioners of enhancement of the amounts due from them without any justification at all and without hearing them.

¶90

Having heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent Municipality as well as the learned Government Pleader, I am of the opinion that since the petitioners are admittedly in occupation of the buildings on the basis of agreements executed by them, the enhancement of the licence fee should have been done with notice to them as well.

¶91

WP(C) Nos.1314, 1372, 1804 & 1965 OF 2023

¶92

In the above view of the matter, the following directions

¶93

¶94

The notice issued by the Secretary of the respondent Municipality will be considered as a show cause notice to the petitioners. The petitioners may submit their reply thereto within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Municipality shall hear the petitioners or their authorised representatives and place the objections be preferred by them along with the hearing notes before the Council who shall take an appropriate decision in the matter within a period of one month thereafter. Till such time, further steps for enhancement shall be kept in abeyance.

¶95

This writ petition is ordered accordingly.
