- Decided
- Disposal
- Disposed Off
Holding
The Court held that the order in First Appeal No. 247 of 2018 applies equally to Appeals Nos. 248, 249 and 250, and therefore remanded them to the Small Causes Court.
Summary
The Mumbai Cricket Association appealed against the Brihan Mumbai Mahanagar Palika regarding the determination of the rateable value for a specific year. Both parties concurred that the decision rendered in First Appeal No. 247 of 2018 should also govern the present appeals, namely First Appeals Nos. 248, 249 and 250 of 2018. The only distinction among the appeals concerned the year for which the rateable value was fixed. The Court, relying on the earlier order, found no reason to deviate from that reasoning for the current matters. Consequently, the three appeals were remanded to the Small Causes Court for further proceedings. The appellant was directed to appear before the Small Causes Court on 23 March 2026.

- The applicability of the order in First Appeal No. 247 of 2018 to First Appeals Nos. 248, 249 and 250 of 2018
