Reported in: ILR2004KAR1629

ORDERV. Gopala Gowda, J.1. Petitioners are aggrieved by the imposition of water rate while revising the property tax. The principal contention of the petitioners is that when there is no supply of water by the Town Panchayat to their properties, levy of water rate is wholly illegal and unwarranted.2.

It is stated that irrespective of supply of water, all the property owners have to pay water rate as the Town Panchayat had spent huge sums for laying pipelines to public taps, maintenance of public toilets, Sarvajanika Souchalayas and hence a part of the cost shall be borne by the tax payers.3.
