The Karnataka High Court on April 24 stayed a property tax demand of ₹6.7 crore issued by Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) against Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) concerning its Research and Development Centre in Whitefield, Bengaluru.

The Court granted interim relief to HUL, observing that BBMP had failed to explain the basis for raising a differential tax demand or for rejecting the company’s self-assessment filings.

Senior Advocate Promod Nair represented HUL. Nair was briefed by Advocate Ahaan Mohan from Aretha Legal.
