[WP(C) Nos.2898/2023, 507/2023, 33559/2022, 42411/2022]

¶164

Dated this the 7^th day of February, 2023

¶165

These writ petitions are filed challenging the enhancement of rent

¶166

collected from the occupants of buildings belonging to the respondentMunicipality.

¶167

It is submitted that the petitioners are occupants of shop rooms in various shopping complexes 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 the Secretary has informed the petitioners of enhancement of the amounts due from them without any justification at all and without hearing them.

¶168

Having heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the 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 rent should have been done with notice to them as

¶169

¶170

¶171

well.

¶172

In the above view of the matter, the following directions are

¶173

issued :-

¶174

The notices 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 authorized representatives and place the objections 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.

¶175

These writ petitions are ordered accordingly.
