Municipal Corporation, Faridabad vs Nitco Roadways And Anr.

The Supreme Court held that the first respondent, a trucking company, admitted to crossing municipal limits without paying octroi and sought composition, thus negating any claim for appeal against the composition fee. The Court found no justification for the commissioner's order reducing the fee, emphasizing that the first respondent's actions indicated an acknowledgment of the violation. The Court upheld the municipal corporation's authority to impose the original composition fee, dismissing the appeal against the High Court's summary dismissal of the writ petition.
