2021, enumerating there in the total outstanding property tax
of the petitioner to be Rs. 55,15,196/-. The petitioner is also
aggrieved and dissatisfied with the notice of demand issued by
the said respondent dated August 6, 2021, demanding payment
of Rs. 59,37,328/- as property tax including interest and
penalty for the premise No. 27, Ezra Street. The petitioner’s
further grievance is that the said respondent Authority has not
even taken up it’s written representation dated June 17, 2021
for consideration, by dint of which the petitioner has ventilated
its grievances and sought for redress thereof. The petitioner is
also aggrieved that in spite of the premises having been
declared as a Grade-I heritage property, the
2 of 14
respondent/Corporation has willfully refuted to enter into any
agreement with the petitioner as per provision under section
425K of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation Act, 1980, in order
to exonerate the petitioner from payment of municipal taxes, in
respect of the said heritage property. According to the
petitioner, it’s statutory and legal rights are infringed in this
way due to the inaction as above of the respondent Authority.
Hence, this petition is filed.
