Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the assessment of tax or fees by the Corporation under the M.P. Municipal Corporation Act, 1956, falls within the scope of 'anything done or intended to be done under the Act' as per Section 415. However, Section 415 does not mandate the Corporation to refer disputes regarding tax refusal to the Government, distinguishing it from Section 334 of the M.P. Municipalities Act, 1961. The Court reversed the High Court's decision to quash recovery proceedings and directed that the Corporation is not obliged to refer the dispute to the Government.
