Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning a demand for land revenue arising from the appellant's failure to surrender tenements as per the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976. The court found that the competent authority had previously issued a No Objection Certificate acknowledging compliance, thus undermining the demand for arrears. The court ruled that the authorities could only withdraw exemptions if there was a clear breach, which was not established in this case, leading to the dismissal of the demand.
