Unauthorised Use
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Unauthorised use, the word 'unauthorised use' in the section does no import any idea of prohibition. The intention of the law clearly is to obtain payment for water used; and the fact that the rates prescribed may be high cannot alter this position, Jawala Ram v. State of Pepsu, AIR 1962 SC 1246 (1248): (1962) 2 SCR 503. [Northern India Canal and Drainage Act, 1873, s. 15]
