Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the liability of the Central Warehousing Corporation to pay property tax to the Gram Panchayats of Pagote, Bhendkhal, and Kalamboli under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966. The Court held that the properties in question are located within the limits of the respective Gram Panchayats, thus affirming their right to collect taxes. The Court directed the Principal Secretary of the Urban Development Department, Maharashtra, to provide relevant notifications and maps to clarify the revenue limits of the Gram Panchayats involved.
