Six petitioners are stated to be operating from the tenanted premises i.e. the shops within the premises of Bus Stand, Jalandhar. It appears that the said construction was under a public private mode (PP), thereby entry of M/s RRKK Infrastructure – respondent No.5 into the picture.

The grievance of the petitioner-tenants is that respondent No.5 is insisting them to deposit the GST and the Property tax. It is, however, not in dispute that the shops rented out for commercial purposes would be inviting the levy of service tax; and after the GST regime the GST. It also cannot be disputed that nature of relief claimed is based on the interpretation of the provisions of private contract/lease deed/Rent deed, if any.

After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioners prays for withdrawal of the present petition to enable the petitioners to seek their remedy in accordance with law, if so advised, before appropriate forum.

Dismissed as withdrawn with liberty aforesaid.
