The Supreme Court set aside the order of the Delhi High Court which had dismissed a writ petition challenging the decision of the Additional District Judge under the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957. The Court found that the appellate authority failed to address the factual basis of the Assessor and Collector's decision regarding the rateable value of the property. The Court restored the writ petition for a merits hearing, emphasizing that it did not express any opinion on the merits of the case.
