CESC LTD. vs CHIEF POST MASTER GENERAL .

The Supreme Court held that the demand notice issued by the Chief Post Master General under Section 11(2) of the Indian Post Office Act, 1898, was invalid as it exceeded the authority granted to the Postal Authority. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to quash the demand notice and directed that the amount deposited by CESC Limited be retained until a final decision on the dues is made. The judgment emphasized the need for proper authority in issuing demand notices under the Act.
