https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=193665 Section 169 of the City of Bombay Municipal Act, 1888 is analysed as a municipal power to recover water charges through an alternative method within the State's competence. The provision is described as a valid classification mechanism because the Municipality may introduce measurement-based charging in stages and extend it to selected localities without offending Article 14. The text further explains that the Legislature did not abdicate its function, since the statutory policy and object were already fixed and municipal authorities were only implementing that policy. It also states that the Standing Committee's resolution and the Commissioner's action were valid, and that prior notice or hearing was not required before levy and recovery. en-us Wed, 28 Jul 1954 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 30 Nov 2017 10:02:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=193665 Section 169 of the City of Bombay Municipal Act, 1888 is analysed as a municipal power to recover water charges through an alternative method within the State's competence.
