https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=289390 A revised handling charge for manganese ore, introduced after withdrawal of the narrow gauge facility, was treated as a fresh scale of rates because the service structure had materially changed; prior sanction under Section 52 of the Major Port Trusts Act, 1963 was therefore required, and Section 53 remission did not apply. The reasonableness of the charge and adequacy of quid pro quo were matters for the Central Government within its supervisory power to modify or cancel sanctioned rates in public interest. An operative rate continued during the relevant period, and the earlier sanctioned rate remained effective after valid remission. A direction to invite and consider objections before fixation or modification of rates was consistent with the statutory scheme. en-us Mon, 10 Feb 1997 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 28 Jul 2020 18:08:18 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=289390 A revised handling charge for manganese ore, introduced after withdrawal of the narrow gauge facility, was treated as a fresh scale of rates because the service structure had materially changed; prior sanction under Section 52 of the Major Port Trusts Act, 1963 was therefore required, and Section 53 remission did not apply.
