The rateable value of my old building was assessed on the basis of the arbitration award an the rent received by me and prevailing in the neighborhood . My contention was that the rateable value should be assessed on the basis of standard rent. The N.D.M.C assessed the standard rent by applying the provisions of section 9 (4) of Delhi Rent Control Act. Whether this assessment is correct?

The determination of the rateable value of the old building by invoking the provisions of section 9(4) of DRC Act is not valid. The N.D.M.C was bound to determine the rateable value by applying the provisions of section 6 and not section 9(4). The assessment should be quashed and the case remanded .
