Appeal No. 783 of 1981. When these appeals were<br \/>\nlisted on the Board for final hearing on 17.02.2011, Shri<br \/>\nJ.R.Nanavati for the appellant &#8211; Corporation was not present<br \/>\nand after hearing the learned Advocate Shri Gaurav Chudasama for the<br \/>\nrespondent &#8211; Bank, the matters were kept on 22.02.2011 for<br \/>\nexamining the same on merits. On 22.02.2011, the learned Advocate<br \/>\nShri J.R.Nanavati for the appellant appeared and stated that the<br \/>\nmatter be examined on merit. Under the circumstances, the appeals are<br \/>\nhereby finally disposed of.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.\tThe<br \/>\nFirst Appeal No. 1903 of 1983 has been preferred by the Appellant &#8211;<br \/>\nCorporation being aggrieved by the impugned order passed by the<br \/>\nlearned Chief Judge, Small Causes Courts, Ahmedabad, in M.V. Appeal<br \/>\nNo. 783 of 1981, which had arisen from the order dated 05.12.1980<br \/>\npassed by the Appellate Officer, whereas the First Appeal No. 1904 of<br \/>\n1983 has been filed by the Appellant &#8211; Corporation being<br \/>\naggrieved by the impugned order passed in M.V. Appeal No. 2526 of<br \/>\n1981, which had arisen from the order dated 05.08.1981 passed by the<br \/>\nAppellate Officer. In both the M.V. Appeals, the learned Chief Judge,<br \/>\nSmall Causes Court (hereinafter referred to as &#8216;the Lower Court&#8217;) had<br \/>\nfixed the Gross Rateable Value (G.R.V.) AT RS. 1,68,636\/- in respect<br \/>\nof the cellar, ground floor, mezzanine floor and first floor and at<br \/>\nRs. 11,988\/- in respect of the second floor of the premises belonging<br \/>\nto the Respondent &#8211; Bank, situated near the Income Tax Office,<br \/>\nAshram Road, Ahmedabad, on the Final Plot No.102-B and 103-B, for the<br \/>\nyears 1980-1981 and 1981-1982. The Respondent &#8211; Bank has also<br \/>\nfiled the Cross Objections in the said Appeals being aggrieved by the<br \/>\nimpugned order passed by the Lower Court  <\/p>\n<p>3.\tBefore<br \/>\ndealing with the merits of the appeals filed by the appellant &#8211;<br \/>\nCorporation and the cross objections filed by the respondent &#8211;<br \/>\nBank, it is required to be stated that at the time of admission,<br \/>\nthese appeals were directed to be heard along with First Appeal No.<br \/>\n1833 of 1983 and other companion matters, as per the order dated<br \/>\n18.01.1984. However, it appears that the said First Appeal No. 1833<br \/>\nof 1983 was disposed of by the Division Bench (Coram: B.N.Kirpal,<br \/>\nC.J. &amp; A.N.Divecha, J.), vide oral judgment dated 14th<br \/>\nDecember, 1994 after observing as under:\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;2.\tThis Court in the case of<br \/>\nMunicipal Corporation of the City of Ahmedabad v. Oriental Fire &amp;<br \/>\nGeneral Insurance Co. Ltd., A.I.R. 1994 Gujarat 167, held that a<br \/>\ntenant cannot challenge the rateable value which is fixed. In view of<br \/>\nthe said judgment, this Appeal is allowed. The order of the Small<br \/>\nCause Court is set aside. The rateable value determined by the<br \/>\nAppellant &#8211; Corporation is restored. No order as to cost.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tSo<br \/>\nfar as the facts of the present appeals are concerned, it transpires<br \/>\nthat the respondent &#8211; Bank was the owner of the premises in<br \/>\nquestion for which the Gross Rateable Value was fixed by the<br \/>\nAppellate Officer of the Corporation and had challenged the<br \/>\nassessment before the Small Causes Court by way of presenting the<br \/>\nM.V. Appeals. The Lower Court, considering the evidence on record and<br \/>\nthe contentions raised by the learned Advocates for the parties,<br \/>\npartly allowed the said M.V. Appeals by fixing the Gross Rateable<br \/>\nValue for the premises as stated hereinabove. Being aggrieved by the<br \/>\nsaid judgment and order, the appellant &#8211; Municipal Corporation<br \/>\npreferred the above mentioned First Appeals and the respondent &#8211;<br \/>\nBank filed the cross objections as stated hereinabove. Though, these<br \/>\nappeals were ordered to be heard along with the First Appeal No. 1833<br \/>\nof 1983, as stated hereinabove, the said appeal has been disposed of<br \/>\nby this Court vide order dated 14.12.1994 only on the ground of<br \/>\nnon-maintainability, as in the said case the tenant of the premises<br \/>\nhad challenged the Gross Rateable Value fixed by the Corporation<br \/>\nbefore the Small Cause Court, whereas in the instant case, the<br \/>\nrespondent &#8211; Bank who was the owner had challenged the Rateable<br \/>\nValue fixed by the Corporation. Hence, these appeals stand on<br \/>\ndifferent footing and could not be disposed of on the lines on which<br \/>\nthe said First Appeal was disposed of.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tIt<br \/>\ncannot be gainsaid that as per the provisions contained in the<br \/>\nB.P.M.C. Act, the Municipal Corporation can impose property taxes,<br \/>\nand that the general tax at a prescribed rate is leviable on the<br \/>\nrateable value of the property. The said expression &#8216;rateable value&#8217;<br \/>\nwas interpreted by various judicial pronouncements, and the law in<br \/>\nthis regard was settled by the Division Bench of this Court in the<br \/>\njudgment reported in A.I.R. 1994 Gujarat 167  in the<br \/>\ncase of Municipal Corporation of the City of<br \/>\nAhmedabad v. Oriental Fire &amp; General Insurance Co. Ltd.<br \/>\nThe relevant portion of the said judgment is reproduced as under:\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The burden must always rest on<br \/>\nthe assessee to establish, when he files an appeal before the Small<br \/>\nCauses Court, that the rateable value has not been properly fixed by<br \/>\nthe Commissioner. When the gross rateable value has been determined<br \/>\nby the Assessing Authority and an appeal is filed contending that the<br \/>\nconstructual rent should not be regarded as a standard rent, as it is<br \/>\nexcessive, then it is for the person, who makes this allegation to<br \/>\nprove his case. Onus of proof is on the person, who would fail, if a<br \/>\nparticular fact is not proved. The averment that the contractual rent<br \/>\ncharged by the owner is excessive is made by the appellant before the<br \/>\nSmall Causes Court.  It would, therefore, be for the appellant to<br \/>\nprove as to what should be the standard rent, which must be at a<br \/>\nfigure less than the contractual rent. In this connection, evidence<br \/>\nwill have to be led by way of cost of land and cost of construction<br \/>\nof the premises in question or the actual rent, which is being<br \/>\nreceived in the neighbourhood with regard to identical or similar<br \/>\npremises. If no evidence in this connection is led, the gross<br \/>\nrateable value,  determined by the Municipal Authorities on the basis<br \/>\nof first letting, must be regarded as the annual letting value under<br \/>\nthe B.P.M.C. Act. Evidence with regard to cost of construction and<br \/>\ncost of land can best, if not only, be available with the owner of<br \/>\nthe property. Therefore, whether it be the stage of assessment or at<br \/>\nthe stage of appeal before the Small Causes Court, evidence in this<br \/>\nregard should always be led or produced by the owner. If, on the<br \/>\nother hand, the Corporation chooses to disregard this and purports to<br \/>\nfix the rateable value on the basis of rents in the neighbourhood, or<br \/>\nby applying any other method then it is only, in such cases, that the<br \/>\nCorporation has to justify its action. When an appeal is filed,<br \/>\nchallenging the gross rateable value, it will be for the appellant to<br \/>\nshow that the rateable value fixed by the Corporation is not in<br \/>\naccordance with law.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\tNow,<br \/>\nif the ratio laid down in the above mentioned judgment is applied to<br \/>\nthe facts of the case, it appears that the Lower Court, while fixing<br \/>\nthe G.R.V. of the premises in question, had taken into consideration<br \/>\nthe comparable instances of Esic Bhavan, situated on the same plot on<br \/>\nwhich the building of the respondent &#8211; Bank was situated i.e.<br \/>\nFinal Plot No. 102-B and 103-B. The Lower Court had also considered<br \/>\nthe reasonable and expected rent of the building constructed by the<br \/>\nB.M. Institute situated in the neighbourhood of the premises of the<br \/>\nrespondent &#8211; Bank on the Ashram Road. Thus, the Lower Court<br \/>\nhaving fixed the G.R.V. Of the premises in question on the basis of<br \/>\nthe reasonable and expected rent of the premises belonging to the<br \/>\nCorporation itself and of the premises in the neighbourhood situated<br \/>\non the Ashram Road, it could not be said that the Lower Court had<br \/>\ncommitted any error while fixing the G.R.V. Of the suit premises.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.\tThe<br \/>\nlearned Advocate Shri J.R.Nanavati for the appellant and Gaurav<br \/>\nChudasama for the respondent have also failed to point out any error<br \/>\ncommitted by the Lower Court and to substantiate the submissions made<br \/>\nby them in the appeals and the cross objections respectively. Under<br \/>\nthe circumstance, we do not find any merits in the present appeals<br \/>\nfiled by the Appellant &#8211; Corporation and the cross objections filed<br \/>\nby the respondent Bank.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.\tIn<br \/>\nthat view of the matter, the First Appeal No. 1903 of 1983 and Cross<br \/>\nObjections No. 46 of 2010 filed in the said appeal and First Appeal<br \/>\nNo. 1904 of 1983 and Cross Objections No. 47 of 2010 filed in the<br \/>\nsaid appeal being dehors the merits, deserve to be dismissed<br \/>\nand are accordingly dismissed with no order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>(JAYANT<br \/>\nPATEL, J.)<\/p>\n<p>(MS.\n<\/p>\n<p>B.M.
