Kolkata Municipal Corp.& Ors vs Kerbs & Cie (I) Ltd.& Ors

The Supreme Court set aside the judgment of the Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court, which had affirmed the Single Judge's decision to strike down Section 275(1)(aa) of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation Act, 1980. The Court held that the High Court's dismissal of Writ Appeals on cryptic grounds was inappropriate, especially in matters concerning constitutionality. The Court restored the appeals to the Kolkata High Court for expeditious hearing and disposal, allowing the Civil Appeals with no order as to costs.
