ABCAUS Case Law Citation:
ABCAUS 2541 (2018) 09 HC

Allahabad High Court has directed Nagar Aayukt, Nagar Nigam, Kanpur to decide Petitioner’s objections with regard to the assessment made towards his house tax

The petitioner had approached the Hon’ble High Court with a grievance that the respondent Nagar Aayukt, Nagar Nigam, Kanpur was not deciding his objections with regard to the assessment made towards his house tax for several years.

The Hon’ble High Court observed that the representation / objection made by the petitioner had not been heard and disposed of by the respondent-authorities at all. The petitioner had moved a representation/objection to the Nagar Aayukt, Nagar Nigam, Kanpur that remained undecided for more than six months.

In these circumstances, the Hon’ble High Court directed the Nagar Aayukt, Nagar Nigam, Kanpur to decide the objection / representation of the petitioner by way of a reasoned and speaking order after giving to the petitioner an opportunity of hearing.

The Hon’ble High Court itself fixed a date for hearing to be made by the Nagar Aayukt, Nagar Nigam, to decide the matter and made it clear that no frivolous adjournment shall be granted to either side.

The Court also directed that till the objection is decided, no coercive action shall be taken against the petitioner.

It was also clarified that in case, the Nagar Aayukt, Nagar Nigam is not available, any person duly authorised by him may decide the objection / representation of the petitioner.
