MUNICIPAL BOARD, HAPUR ETC. vs JASSA SINGH & ORS. ETC.

The Supreme Court held that the municipality has the power to levy fees for the use of bus stands under Section 293 of the Uttar Pradesh Municipalities Act, which allows the Board to charge fees for the occupation of immovable property. The Court clarified that the fee of Rs. 0.75 per day for stage carriages is valid as it was established through proper bye-laws and government directives. The appeal against the Allahabad High Court's decision to quash the fee demand was dismissed, affirming the municipality's authority to impose such fees.
