casestatus.in Summary

Summary The Supreme Court upheld Kerala High Court judgments granting building tax exemptions to convents and educational institutions under Section 3(1)(b) of the Kerala Building Tax Act, 1975. The Court held that residential buildings for nuns and hostel buildings for students qualify as buildings "principally used for religious/educational purposes" when integrally connected to religious or educational activities. Applying beneficial exemption doctrine, the Court rejected strict interpretation favored by Kerala, finding that accommodation necessary for religious training and student education falls within the exemption's protective scope.
