In Brief
Amar Jain Medical Relief Society challenged an interim order requiring them to deposit 50% of the Urban Development Tax component while the validity of the tax itself was being contested in a separate writ petition before the High Court. The Supreme Court, finding that the underlying tax liability was already sub judice before the High Court, stayed the deposit direction and remitted the matter to the High Court with a direction to decide the writ petition expeditiously within six months. The appeal was disposed without deciding the substantive tax dispute.
