Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's dismissal of the Food Corporation of India's challenge against the property tax demand by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai. The court reasoned that the land acquired for the Central Government and used for food storage does not exempt the FCI from property tax obligations. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
