In Brief
Amar Jain Medical Relief Society challenged a High Court interim order requiring deposit of 50% of Urban Development Tax. The Supreme Court stayed the deposit requirement and coercive action by the Municipal Corporation. Finding it appropriate for the High Court to first decide the underlying Civil Writ Petition on the tax liability issue, the Court requested the High Court to dispose of the writ petition expeditiously within six months. No substantive legal contentions were examined; the appeal was disposed of with the stay order continued pending resolution of the main petition.
