Bomman. M. Irani vs / on 12 December, 2019
6. Learned Single Judges of this Court have opined that in cases of
multi tenanted properties where an association has been formed, liability
to outstanding water tax and charges have to be met by the Association
promptly and reimbursement sought thereafter from the defaulting tenant
(See Cosmo Towers Owners’ Association V. Chennai Metropolitan Water
Supply and Sewerage Board and others – dated 18.06.2009 in
http://www.judis.nic.inW.P.No.5351 of 2009). However, in the matter before me, it is nobody’s
6
case that an Association exists. The liability should thus unquestioningly
be met by either the owner or the tenants in terms of Sections 62(2) and
49 of the Act and Regulations 24 to 27 of the 1991 Regulations.
