1998 (8) TMI 593 - SC - Companies LawWhether the State Government is empowered to collect differential supervision charges with retrospective effect under Section 58-A of the Bombay Prohibition Act, 1949? Held that:- On a rational interpretation of the relevant conditions and provisions, the petitioners were entitled to know in advance the costs payable by them so as to enable them to fix the price of goods, and the respondents, having acted in the manner and permitted to the petitioners to sell the goods on the effective representation that the cost of supervision charges for incoming quarter was fixed for the said quarter, cannot now be permitted to go back on their said representation and demand additional amount, more so with retrospective effect. Thus the impugned demand of differential supervision charges retrospectively cannot be sustained and accordingly the judgment under appeal is set aside. Appeal allowed.
