Several hundreds of petitions are filed by residents and builders raising a challenge to the amendments and the consequential imposts/levy in terms of demands raised by the respondent – BBMP. Therefore, all these writ petitions are clubbed and heard together and
Decision
disposed of by this common order. 2. In Mr. Sunderam Shetty and Others Vs. State of Karnataka rep. by its Secretary, Urban Development -699- Department and Others1 – the co-ordinate bench considered whether the impugned imposts/fee suffer from want of legal sanction, insofar as ground rent, licence fee, scrutiny fee, security deposit, lake rejuvenation fee, service charges at 1% of the amount payable to the Palike from out of Building Construction Workers cess – Labour cess. It was held that the levy and collection did not have any legal basis and such action was based on Circulars which had no force of law. Accordingly, Circulars dated 04.09.2015 and 27.01.2017 issued by the BBMP were quashed and set aside. However, it was also held that the State or the BBMP are not precluded from bringing in the impugned levies under the provisions of the Act or the Rules by making suitable amendments to the Act and the Rules. As a consequence, the respondent - State and the BBMP chose to amend and insert the impugned provisions in the Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976 and the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike Act, 2020 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘BBMP Act’, for short), with retrospective effect for validation of fee and penalty collected by the BBMP at the time of sanction of building 1 ILR 2021 KAR 3968 -700- plans and grant of commencement certificate and completion certificate to buildings and also to provide exemption or concession to Boards or Corporations or Organisations owned or controlled by the Central Government or the State Government from the payment of such fee. 3. One of the main grounds of attack is that the impugned provisions do not in any way set out to change the circumstances under which the imposts/levy were declared as ultra vires in Sunderam Shetty1. It is contended that such action is an attempt to nullify the judgment of this Court, without taking due care to remove the basis of the judgment. Several other grounds are raised challenging the impugned amendments and therefore, it would be better to proceed enumerating the broad grounds. 4 (i) In Sunderam Shetty1, this Court has already considered the legality of the impugned imposts/levy and has held that such imposts/levy are ultra vires the Act and therefore similar provisions cannot be reintroduced into the Act. 4 (ii) In Sunderam Shetty1, this Court has considered the legitimacy of linking guidance value to the fee payable -701- towards building licence/sanction plan and has held that it has no reasonable nexus. However, by the impugned amendment, such fee is once again linked to guidance value. 4 (iii) In Sunderam Shetty1, this Court considered the legality of imposition and collection of ground rent, and held that the same cannot be imposed if public property/road/pavement were not utilized for storing construction material. However, care is not taken in the impugned provisions to redress the grievance of such persons. 4 (iv) Imposition of security fee would be additional burden on the owners/builders. The impugned provision does not mandate returning of the security fee. 4 (v) In Sunderam Shetty1, it has been held that the impugned levy can be imposed on the basis of quid pro quo and therefore such levy should be commensurate with the services rendered by the BBMP. However, the impugned levy are highly exorbitant and are not commensurate with the services rendered. 4 (vi) In the latest amendment, Act No.37 of 2024, while defining ‘Ground Rent’ to mean and include fee for -702- usage of public roads and other infrastructure facilities provided and maintained by BBMP, the owners/builders who seek plan sanction are singled out for differential treatment and doubly taxed for the same purpose. 4 (vii) In terms of Articles 243W and 243X of the Constitution of India read with the 12th Schedule, the power to impose taxes pertaining to the impugned levy are vested with the Municipalities. Therefore, such power cannot be delegated to the Commissioner. 4 (viii) Having regard to such powers conferred under Articles 243W and 243X on the Municipalities, provision such as Section 18-A of the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, 1961 (for short ‘Act 1961’), and Rule 37-A, B and C of the Karnataka Planning Authority Rules, 1965 (for short ‘Rules 1965’) could not have been inserted, thereby enabling the Planning Authority (Bangalore Development Authority) to levy and collect such fee. 4 (ix) Betterment charges cannot be levied and collected by the BBMP, on delegation of power under the Act, 1961. Such powers are conferred on the Planning Authority to collect betterment charges while sanctioning a layout plan -703- and the same cannot be imposed or collected by the BBMP while sanctioning a building plan. 4 (x) There is no plan or scheme for Mass Rapid Transport System in the city and therefore, the BBMP cannot demand or collect surcharge and cess in that regard. 4 (xi) The fee/surcharge/cess collected by the planning department of BBMP while sanctioning building plans have to be utilized only for the purpose of meeting the administrative expenses of the planning department. However, it is clear from the statement of objections filed at the hands of the respondents that the impugned fees are sought to be collected and utilized for other purposes also. 4 (xii) The respondent-State and BBMP have not preferred any appeal challenging the judgment in Sunderam Shetty1. Having accepted the said judgment, the respondents could not have levied the impugned fees without removing the defects pointed out by this Court. 4 (xiii) No reasons are forthcoming either from the statement of objects of the Amending Act or the statement of objections filed by the respondents regarding any tangible information or recommendation from the Finance -704- Commission, while reviewing the finances of the BBMP, for enhancement of the impugned fees. Empirical data is not collected before proceeding to introduce the impugned provisions in the Act and the Rules. The respondents have failed to justify the exorbitant rates. 4 (xiv) The impugned Validating Act/provisions seek to override the judgment of this Court and by introducing a non-obstante clause, the respondents are undermining the power of judicial review conferred on this Court by the Constitution of India. Arguments on behalf of petitioners: 5. Re: Sunderam Shetty1 - legality of the impugned imposts/levy have been considered and held ultra vires the Act and therefore similar provisions could not have been reintroduced. 6. Sri P.S.Rajagopal, learned Senior Counsel - Similar provisions such as ground rent, licence fee, scrutiny fee, security deposit, lake rejuvenation fee, service charges at 1% of the amount payable to the Palike from out of Building Construction Workers cess – Labour cess, though not expressly provided either in the Act or the Rules, were -705- however, levied and sought to be collected, based on Circulars issued from time to time. In Sunderam Shetty1 and connected matters, challenge were raised at the hands of several hundred petitioners and this Court held that such levy, not provided in the Act or Rules, could not be levied or collected through Circulars. It was therefore held that such Circulars through which the levy and collection was sought to be made by BBMP was ultra vires the Act. The decision in Sunderam Shetty1 not only considered the validity of such levy on the basis of Circulars, but also considered the legality of such levy comprehensively. Therefore, the State and BBMP were precluded from bringing in similar provisions, by inserting the same in the Act. This Court may therefore proceed to strike down the impugned provisions, since such provisions have already been held to be illegal and unjust. In this regard, reliance was placed on State of Karnataka and Others Vs. Karnataka Pawn Brokers Association and Others2, where it was held that a judicial pronouncement is always binding unless the very fundamentals on which it is 2 (2018) 6 SCC 363 -706- based are altered and the decision could not have been given in the altered circumstances. 7. As a counter, it was argued by learned Senior Counsel Sri K.G.Raghavan, on behalf of the respondent- BBMP that since this Court was considering in Sunderam Shetty1, the legality of the levy on the basis of Circulars, and it was held that such levy cannot be imposed by way of Circulars, there being no substantial provision in the Act or the Rules, all other observations made in Sunderam Shetty1, regarding the impugned levy are obiter dicta. 8. Learned Counsel Sri Sammith S., appearing for some of the petitioners has pointed to two judgments, which were in fact relied upon by learned Senior Counsel Sri.K.G.Raghavan, in the case of Secunderabad Club Vs. Commissioner of Income Tax3 and Union of India and Others Vs. Dhanwanti Devi and Others4, to counter the argument of learned Senior Counsel Sri K.G.Raghavan. It was submitted that in Sunderam Shetty1, the co-ordinate Bench has considered each and every aspect of the 3 (2023) SCC OnLine SC 1004 4 (1996) 6 SCC 44 -707- impugned levy, dehors the levy imposed through Circulars. Since the Apex Court has held that the ratio of the case has to be deduced from the facts involved in the case, it was submitted that the co-ordinate Bench has considered each and every levy and their validity, more particularly the linking of the levy to guidance value. In Dhanwanti Devi4 too, it was held that in order to understand and appreciate the binding force of a decision it is always necessary to see what were the facts in the case in which the decision was given and what was the point which had to be decided. 9. Sri Sammith S., learned Counsel for some of the petitioners – the respondent-State and BBMP are bound by the mandamus issued by this Court. The respondent–State cannot indirectly take away the benefit conferred on the owners/builders, by amending and inserting the impugned provisions in the Act. The impugned levy are the same which were found in the Circulars impugned before this Court in Sunderam Shetty1. The effect of reintroducing such levy which were struck down by this Court would amount to the respondent-State directly annulling a judgment of this Court. Attention of this Court is drawn to S.T.Sadiq Vs. State of -708- Kerala and Others5. In Madras Bar Association Vs. Union of India And Another6, it was held that the law does not permit the legislature to take away what has been granted in implementation of a Court’s decision, including interim orders/directions. Nullification of mandamus by an enactment was held, impermissible and it would amount to transgression of constitutional limitations and intrusion into the judicial power by the legislature in violation of the principles of separation of powers, the rule of law and Article 14 of the Constitution. 10. Sri.P.S.Rajagopal, learned Senior Counsel, while pointing out to the statement of objects of the Karnataka Act 01 of 2022, submitted that the Government is clearly of the view that since fee have been collected by the Palike and the same have been utilized for various development works, refund of the same would incur a financial burden of Rs.2362 Crores to the Palike and therefore, it is considered necessary to amend the Act, 1976, Act 2020, with retrospective effect for validation of fee and penalty collected by the Palike. It is

However, liberty is reserved to the respondent-State Government and the BBMP to re-fix a standard after collecting empherical data. -758- (vii) Consequently, all the impugned Circulars which seek to give effect to the Rules 37-A and 37-C of the Karnataka Planning Authority Rules, 1965, are hereby quashed and set aside.

It would be advisable that the BBMP may come out with a scheme for ‘One Time Settlement’ and settle the levy and collect the fee generally acceptable to the citizens of Bengaluru. This would also augment the present situation. -759- 70. Pending Interlocutory Application(s), if any, stand(s) disposed of. Sd/- (R. DEVDAS) JUDGE KLY/JT/DL CT:JL
