Mcd rateable value increase

HI,

I have a commercial property in which i kept a  tenant/licencee without a Rent agreement in the year 2000. The Tenant /licencee started defaulting on the Rent/Licence fee paid to me after sometime. The tenant in conspiracy with the MCD officials got his Name included in the MCD records as tenant. The MCD then issued a notice for increase in Rateable value to me on account of 1 st Subleting.

I had already filed a Civil suite for recovery of Rent/Damages and Possession in the court and also terminated the tenancy of the tenant through a notice sent to him by Registered A.D.  Could MCD have still increased my Rateable value (inspite of the fact that i was not getting the rent/licence fee and and filed for Damages/recovery of the amount from the tenant) . 

I know in the current Unit Area method , this does not hold any value but i am talking about the year 2000 when the system was based on the rateable Value.

Kindly help .......

Hi,

 

Since the matter is before the court, you can notify the status to the MCD officials and I hope that you have already impleded the MCD Authority as a party to the suit since they have colluded with the tenant to enrol his name in the list without your free consent and knowledge.
