https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=157541 A statutory notice under section 233 of the Ajmer Merwara Municipalities Regulation, 1925 was held unnecessary because the claim was for recovery of surcharge and not for an act or illegal omission by the Committee in its official capacity. The surcharge notification under the Bombay Electricity Surcharge Act, 1946, as extended to Ajmer Merwara, was treated as valid because sections 3 and 4 independently authorised surcharge and did not conflict with clause 12 of the Schedule to the Indian Electricity Act, 1910, which was only a pricing machinery provision. However, surcharge was not recoverable for electricity used under the contract for pumping water, as the contract was read as one for pumping water for fixed consideration rather than for supply of electricity. en-us Thu, 25 Jul 1968 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 22:56:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=157541 A statutory notice under section 233 of the Ajmer Merwara Municipalities Regulation, 1925 was held unnecessary because the claim was for recovery of surcharge and not for an act or illegal omission by the Committee in its official capacity.
