Rule 32(3) was also upheld as intra vires the Legal Metrology Act, 2009, since the Act authorised compounding up to the statutory ceiling linked to the maximum fine for the offence. The writ petition therefore failed and the compounding demand was sustained. en-us Fri, 11 Dec 2015 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 09 May 2016 11:09:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=269687 The compounding amount for breach of pre-packaged commodity declaration requirements was governed by Rule 32(3) of the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, because the central regime specifically prescribed compounding for contraventions under the Act, while the Delhi Legal Metrology (Enforcement) Rules, 2011 did not provide a comparable mechanism for this offence.
