Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Allahabad High Court's judgment regarding the eviction of a tenant under the U.P. Municipalities Act, 1916. The Court held that the landlord's failure to contest the house tax assessment within the stipulated time under Section 143 of the Act precluded him from later challenging the assessment. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, emphasizing the importance of timely objections in municipal tax matters, thereby upholding the eviction order.
