Usually such liabilities are specifically divided through inclusion of a clause in the Sale Deed. Any liability arising before the date of execution and registration of Sale Deed would be of the previous owner and any liability arising for the time period after the date of execution and registration of Sale Deed would be of the current owner. You may make a representation to the municipal corporation in this regard along with the receipts showing clearance of liabilities. If the demand persists by the municipal corporation, a writ petition before the Hon’ble Gujarat High Court can be filed in this regard.
