Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the execution of a consent decree dated 13.10.1982 for recovery of commercial charges and taxes under the Municipal Corporation Act, 1980. The Court clarified that the appointment of a Receiver was justified despite the appellant's claims regarding the non-payability of the commercial surcharge, as the liability was established and the earlier orders had not been contested. The Court emphasized that the execution proceedings were valid under Section 47 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, affirming the High Court's decision.
