Court's Decision & Legal Precedent
DATE VERIFIED Judgment 2006-05-05 (order-1.pdf; R.M. Lodha & J.P. Devadhar JJ.): earlier Bombay/Calcutta view that s.3(1)’s power to prohibit/regulate imports did not include levy of inspection fees was cured when Parliament retrospectively inserted s.3(3) enabling fee levy/collection; Validation Act 1992 removed that defect and satisfied Saksena/Prithvi Cotton tests, so past inspection-fee recovery under the amended s.3 stands.
On this section: Teaches operative s.2: Validation Act’s retrospective amendment validly inserts express inspection-fee power into parent Act s.3, curing the ultra vires basis of prior HC judgments.
The holding above is the ratio decidendi as extracted from the judgment by eCourts India, reproduced unaltered — it is a rendering of the court's reasoning, not a substitute for its words. Read the order itself before relying on it.
