Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the liability of the appellant to pay property tax to the Gram Panchayats under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966. The Court held that the properties in question are indeed within the limits of the respective Gram Panchayats of Pagote, Bhendkal, and Kalamboli, as confirmed by the State Government's affidavit and relevant notifications. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the Gram Panchayats' right to collect property tax.
