Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that deemed Articles 13 and 14 of the Concession Agreement between NOIDA Toll Bridge Company Ltd. and IL&FS as illegal, which had prohibited the collection of tolls on the DND Flyway. The Court held that the imposition of tolls was valid under the provisions of the Concession Agreement, emphasizing the necessity of user fees for the recovery of investment in infrastructure projects. Consequently, the Supreme Court allowed the appeal, reinstating the toll collection rights of NTBCL.
