Bengal Properties Pvt. Ltd vs Feroze Belal & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's order appointing a Receiver under the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, to manage the collection of rents and arrears from tenants of a property involved in a dispute over municipal dues. The Court clarified that the Receiver is tasked with determining tenant identities and collecting dues, while also ensuring that the defendants continue to pay current dues. The appointment of the Receiver was deemed necessary to protect the interests of the parties involved until further orders are made, and the Receiver was granted specific powers including remuneration and the ability to open a bank account for managing funds.
