Case Summary WPO/557/2025: The High Court at Calcutta directed Commercial Properties and Merchandise Ltd to deposit Rs. 29,26,334/- (principal property tax) plus accrued interest within six weeks to test their bona fides in challenging municipal tax demands for their Kolkata premises. The court granted a conditional stay on coercive action, exempting penalty from immediate deposit, while noting that writ jurisdiction ordinarily cannot challenge tax demands; the petitioners must continue the case on merits by June 2026. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
