https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=208286 Section 1(3)(d) of the Standards of Weights and Measures Act, 1976 was construed as not requiring a separate notification for each class of goods before the packaged commodities regime could operate; the notification bringing the relevant provisions into force was sufficient, and the rules remained applicable. Shoes packed in cartons for retail sale were treated as pre-packed commodities under the Act and Packaged Commodities Rules, 1977, so the declaration requirements, including retail sale price, applied. Harmonious construction of the Act and Rules supported consumer protection and standardised retail pricing, and the absence of price-inclusive declarations made the challenge fail. en-us Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 12:25:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=208286 Section 1(3)(d) of the Standards of Weights and Measures Act, 1976 was construed as not requiring a separate notification for each class of goods before the packaged commodities regime could operate; the notification bringing the relevant provisions into force was sufficient, and the rules remained applicable.
