transferor and the transferee of a property in respect whereof the title is
transferred to give notice of such transfer to the Commissioner. Similar
obligation is cast to give notice in case of death of a person in whom the
title of the property is vested and which is required to be transferred to his
heir. Section 114(3) provides that, the notice shall be in such form as the
Commissioner direct and transferee should produce before the Commissioner any
documents evidencing the transfer or succession. Section 144(4) lays down that
every person who makes a transfer without giving notice to the Commissioner
shall continue to be liable for payment of the property tax assessed on the
premises transferred, until he gives notice or until the transfer should have
been recorded in the Corporation Registers. However, the liability of the
transferee for the payment of the tax is not affected. From this provision the
khatha procedure is derived. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

expenses (betterment fees) cannot be a condition for the registration of katha.
The High Court by referring to Section 114 of Karnataka Municipal Corporation
Act 1976, observed that the improvement expenses (betterment charges) which are
levied and collected from the owner of the property has absolutely no
connection with the name of the transferee being entered in the property tax
register. Therefore, the payment of improvement expenses cannot be made
a condition for entering the name of the transferee in the property tax
