Case Summary: Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai v. Kamla Mills Ltd. Court Decision: The Supreme Court allowed the Municipal Corporation's appeal and set aside the lower courts' judgments, but remitted the case for reassessment. While accepting that rateable value is limited by standard rent under the Bombay Rent Act, the Court found Kamla Mills failed to provide evidence supporting its objections and must now discharge this burden on remand. Key Reasoning: The Court established that where municipal legislation lacks specific provisions for valuing property, rateable value cannot exceed the standard rent determinable under applicable rent control legislation. However, since Kamla Mills produced no material evidence regarding standard rent for either the demolished structures or the newly constructed building, the matter was returned to the Assessor for fresh hearing with opportunity for the respondent to present proper evidence.
