Different house tax to neighbours for a strange reason

Sir,
Can a municipality charge a different house tax to residents in a same colony for the following reason:
Recently our municipality sent notices to residents about its proposed increase in house taxes and also asked them to submit objection within a time period to this increment, if they have any.

Municipality is expected to partially bring down the increment in house taxes in response to these objections.
But some residents have failed to lodge the objection to this increment- out of overlooking or ignorance. The municipality staff members say that proposed increment in taxes would be brought down only for those who raised objections. And those who have not raised the objection to this increment will have to pay the house tax as per the original increment proposed by the municipality.
Can it be so sir?
Can a municipality tax one house at a different rate and its neighbouring house at a different rate on the basis of who raised the objection to
tax increment, and who didn't.
Is it like buying vegetable: the one who bargains the price gets the discount, and the other one who doesn't bargain doesn't get the discount.
I don't agree with this claim of the staff members that only those who raised the objections to tax increment would get the benefit and the rest shall have to pay a higher tax.
What experts have to say in this matter!

Regards
Dipak R Gandhi

Ashraya yojane property

Hello,

I am planning to buy a Ashraya Yojane allocated property. Its 40 years old property and has 7 cent land. Gov allocated land is 1.5 cent which is vacant and adjacent to this 1.5 cent the house is built (40 years back) in another 1.5 cent land. This house has door number and they have paid the taxes as well. I received only "Niveshana Hakku Patra" from seller. I am confused as the land on record is vacant and the land in which there is house has door number. Now the total land is 7 cent and on paper is 1.5. How do I proceed with this deal? I tried checking documents online, however for the survey number on paper no docs found online. All suggestions are welcome. Thank you for the help in advance,

Tenant dispute over bathroom leakage repair costs

Hey everyone,

I've got a situation and I could really use some advice. I live on the first floor, and the tenants below me complained about water leaking from my bathroom into theirs. We said we'd fix it, but they quoted a repair cost of 1 lakh, which seemed high. We were worried they might start the work and leave it halfway, so we didn't move forward.

Things got messy, and now they've taken legal action. They got a court engineer who says the repairs will cost 3 lakh 50 thousand, including fixing their room, my bathroom, outer walls, bedroom, doors—pretty much everything.

I'm not sure how to defend against this. What should I do?

1. Can I get someone else to check if the repairs they're asking for are legit?
2. Who's responsible for what when it comes to these repairs?
3. Is there a way to question the crazy high cost they're claiming?
4. Any tips on resolving this without going deeper into legal stuff?


I'm a bit lost here, so any help or advice would be awesome. Thanks a bunch!

Best,
Mohsin

Rent control original petition - reg.

Respected Learned Experts. I had filed a case for eviction and repossession of a rented property. After a period of 3 years of case. the tenant's advocate has informed the court that they want to vacate the property. The judge has instructed to file petition accordingly. If a joint compromise petition is filed, I had been informed that the case shall be dismissed accordingly. If the tenant thereafter refuse to vacate the premises, whether I can restore/reopen the case? As I am appearing as party in person, I request the Learned Expert to guide in this matter. Please mention the clauses to be included in the petition so as my right of repossession shall not be changed. Thanks to all the Learned Experts in anticipation.
