Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the repeal of the Cochin Tobacco Act and the Travancore Tobacco Regulation under Section 11 and Section 13(2) of the Finance Act, 1950. The Court held that these state laws were indeed corresponding laws to the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944, and thus stood repealed as of April 1, 1950. The notifications issued thereafter altering the licensing system were deemed invalid, affirming the appellants' challenge against the legality of these notifications.
