MANBHAR DEVI AGARWAL vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition challenging the collection of royalty on minerals used in construction, as per the Government Orders issued by the State of Rajasthan. The Court found that the modifications made by the Government Orders, particularly the one dated 13.11.2000, were valid and did not violate any statutory provisions. The Court held that the requirement for a No Dues certificate before payment of final bills was lawful and necessary to prevent revenue loss to the State.
