THE SIRSILK vs THE TEXTILE COMMITTEE .

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of the fee imposed by the Textile Committee under Rule 21 of the Textile Committee Rules, 1965, as authorized by Section 22 of the Textile Committee Act, 1963. The Court ruled that the definition of 'textiles' in Section 2(g) includes rayon and nylon yarn, which are considered man-made fibers, thus subjecting them to the fee. The Court emphasized that the Act's provisions should be interpreted in a popular sense, aligning with the Act's objective of quality control in textiles.
