Bandra's famous Goan food eatery — Highway Gomantak — is at loggerheads with the housing society where it is housed. The Gandhinagar Pranav Co-operative society has included the eatery in the list of defaulters on property tax payments even as the owners claim that there is no parity in the way the BMC levies assessment charges for the property.
The total amount the society owed to the civic body, over a few years, was pegged around R21 lakh, which the society has now paid to avoid any action, with a hope of recovering the dues from the eatery. The Potnis family that manages the restaurant has been asking the society's managing committee to question the BMC over 20 times higher assessment charges as compared to other buildings in the vicinity.
