casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the Municipal Corporation of Greater Bombay's appeal, holding that state-owned drains do not automatically vest in the Corporation merely because it has duty to maintain municipal drains. The court ruled that vesting of government drains in the Corporation can only occur through the formal procedure prescribed under Section 220A of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, which was not followed here. Therefore, the Corporation was not entitled to levy sewerage charges on Hindustan Petroleum Corporation for discharging effluents into the state-owned drain. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
