Abstract
The present case is concerning the questioning of the increase in the tax levied on water on ground that it cannot be imposed retrospectively. The court while dismissing the claim of the tax being imposed retrospectively held that the appellant was bound to pay the rates demanded by the Corporation (the same rate is being charged by the Government) and the Corporation cannot be asked to suffer a loss merely on the ground that the appellants business benefited the public.
