Case History
Case Summary: Associated Cement Cos. Ltd. v. State of Madhya Pradesh Decision: The Supreme Court dismissed Associated Cement's appeal, upholding the Division Bench's judgment that the Municipal Council of Kymore was not bound by the State Government's December 1995 circular prescribing a 0.20% terminal tax rate on cement exports. The Court held that the State's circular was merely instructional and lacked statutory authority to override the Municipality's 1991 notification imposing a 0.50% rate, as the Municipality possessed delegated legislative power under the Municipalities Act that could only be modified through formal procedures (Sections 129-131) or subsequent rule-making with prospective effect.
