Judgment text excerpt

The case examines the conflict between the Tobacco Board Act, 1975 (Central Act) and the Bihar Agricultural Produce Markets Act, 1960 (State Act) regarding the levy of fees on tobacco sales. The court analyzes the distribution of legislative powers under Articles 246 and 254 of the Constitution of India and the Seventh Schedule. The judgment discusses whether the Central legislation renders the State's power to levy market fees invalid through the doctrine of parliamentary paramountcy.
