Rufina D' Souza And Ors vs Municipal Corporation Of Greater ...

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a writ petition challenging notices issued under Section 354 of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888, for disconnecting electricity and water connections to a building. The Court emphasized that the issues raised were subject to ongoing civil suits regarding specific performance and demolition, which necessitated further inquiry. Consequently, the Court affirmed the High Court's decision, reinforcing the principle that disputes involving factual inquiries are best resolved in civil proceedings rather than through writ jurisdiction.
