Kalyan Chemicals v. Government of A.P. and Ors. - (Supreme Court) (12 Aug 2015)
Larger amount of fee not excessive given passage of time
MANU/SC/0854/2015
Excise
The Supreme Court rejected the claim that collection of a gallonage fee by state at the rate of Re.1 per bulk litre was illegal, arbitrary and without justification in the non-rendering of any service. It added, the state had the authority to impose the fee retrospectively, and in its determination found Re.1 per bulk litre to be reasonable and not excessive.
