Court: Allahabad

Decided on: May-15-1968

Reported in: AIR1969All40

Broome, J.1. The following question has been referred to this Bench for decision:'Whether Clause (f) of Sub-section (1) of Section 14, U. P. Town Areas Act, 1914 is valid.'2. Section 14 of the said Act enumerates the various taxes that may be imposed by a Town Area Committee; and Clause (f) of this Section relates specifically to the levy of circumstances and property tax. This provision was introduced in the U. P. Town Areas Act by an amending Act (U. P. Act XXIII of 1950), which came into force in July 1950. Such a tax was not being levied by Town Areas before the commencement of the Constitution and consequently cannot be saved by Article 277. The question therefore arises whether the amendment conferring the power on Town Area Committees to levy this tax was within the legislative competence of the State Legislature. The argument advanced by learned counsel for the appellant in this connection is twofold. Firstly, it is contended that circumstances and property tax is essentially a...
