A quick summary: The High Court has temporarily stopped the Rs. 3,000 fee for each event at Mahalaxmi Function Hall because the required government approval was missing.
In this case, Mahalaxmi Function Hall, represented by Gatla Ramesh, challenged the Ramagundam Municipal Corporation's decision to charge Rs. 3,000 for every event held at their venue. The function hall is located in Godavarikhani, Karimnagar District.
The petition argued that the Ramagundam Municipal Corporation's notice was issued without the necessary government approval. According to the rules, such permission is needed.
Justice C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy was in charge of the case. After looking at the petition and hearing both sides, the court found no proof of the needed government approval in the notice. Because of this, the court decided to pause the enforcement of the notice.
"There shall be stay of enforcement of the impugned notice," the court ordered.
The court has scheduled the next hearing for February 22, 2016. In the meantime, the Ramagundam Municipal Corporation has been given time to respond. This means the charge is on hold until further orders.
The case highlights the importance of following proper legal steps before imposing fees or charges, ensuring fairness and adherence to the law.
