https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=275707 Section 2 of the Indian Tolls Act, 1851 was described as conferring a constitutionally valid power because the Act's scheme limits tolls to roads and bridges made or repaired at government expense, supplying sufficient legislative guidance. The levy was treated as a compensatory charge with an implied quid pro quo, not an unrestricted revenue measure, so Articles 14 and 19 were not violated. The toll notification was also upheld because the rates were found reasonable, the levy imposed only a permissible restriction on movement, and the challenge under Articles 301 and 303 failed in light of Article 305 protecting existing law. en-us Thu, 05 May 1966 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 11:21:49 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=275707 Section 2 of the Indian Tolls Act, 1851 was described as conferring a constitutionally valid power because the Act's scheme limits tolls to roads and bridges made or repaired at government expense, supplying sufficient legislative guidance.
