Nabeesath Beevi vs. The Chairperson
Held
The Court allowed the petitioner to repay the entire balance amount due, including 8% GST, to the Municipality in five equated monthly installments. It was clarified that any single default would permit the respondents to proceed in accordance with law, and no further extensions would be granted.
Facts
The petitioner challenged a notice issued by the Municipal Secretary directing the closure of her leased shoprooms due to outstanding rent arrears. The Court had previously granted an interim stay on condition of a partial deposit, which the petitioner partially complied with while seeking an extension.
Key Issues
The key legal issues were the validity of the municipality's notice for shoproom closure due to rent arrears and whether the petitioner should be granted an installment facility for repayment of the outstanding dues.
