MUNICIPAL COUNCIL, RAICHUR vs AMAR CHAND PRASANNA ETC.

The Supreme Court held that the resolution passed by the Standing Committee of the Raichur Municipal Council to levy octroi duty was valid under Section 94 of the Mysore Municipalities Act, 1964, as it was confirmed by the general body. The Court ruled that modifications to the resolution, although initially passed by circulation, were subsequently confirmed unanimously, thus complying with procedural requirements. The Court also clarified that defects in some bye-laws do not render the entire set of bye-laws unenforceable, affirming the legality of the octroi duty imposition.
