 GST


Power to levy and collect taxes whether or not, direct or indirect emerges from the Constitution of India. just in case any law, be it an act, rule, notification or order isn't in conformity with the Constitution, it's referred to as ultra vires the Constitution and is unlawful and void.

Article 265 of the Constitution of India prohibits impulsive assortment of tax. It states that “no tax shall be levied or collected except by authority of law”. The term “authority of law” suggests that tax planned to be levied should be at intervals the legislative competency of the general assembly imposing the tax.

Power to levy product and Services Tax (GST) has been presented by Article 246A of the 

Constitution that was introduced by the Constitution (101st Amendment) Act, 2016.




Need for modification


The Constitutional provisions til now had pictured separate powers for the Centre and also the 

States to impose varied taxes. Whereas the Centre levied excise duty on all product made or factory-made in India, the States levied price intercalary Tax once the products entered the stream 

of trade upon completion of manufacture. 

In the case of inter-State sales, the Centre had the facility to levy a tax (the Central Sales Tax), 

but the tax was collected and preserved entirely by the States. Services were completely taxed 

by the Centre at the side of applicable cesses, if any. 

Besides, there have been State specific levies like entry tax, Octroi, luxury tax, amusement tax, 

lottery and indulgent tax, native taxes levied by Panchayats etc. With relevance merchandise foreign 

from outside the country into Asian nation, Centre levied basic duty and extra duties of 

customs at the side of applicable cesses, if any. 

Introduction of the GST needed modification within the Constitution thus on modify integration of 

the central excise duty together with extra duties of customs, State VAT and bound State 

specific taxes and repair tax levied by the Centre into a comprehensive merchandise and Services 

Tax and to empower each Centre and therefore the States to levy and collect it. Consequently,

Amendment Act) was passed. it's twenty sections. new inserted Article 279A empowering

Case Laws related to Defamation in favour of ClaimantCase Laws related to Defamation in favour of Claimant. TOLLEY Vs, J.S FRY & SONS LTD – (1931) Facts The defendants were owners of chocolate manufacturing company. They advertised their products with a caricature of the claimant, who was a prominent amateur golfer, showing him with the defendants’ chocolate in his pocket while playing golf. The advertisement compared the excellence of the chocolate to the excellence of the claimant’s drive. The claimant did not consent to or knew about the advertisement. Issue The claimant alleged that the advertisement suggested that he agreed to his portrait being used for commercial purposes and for financial gain. He further claimed that the use of his image made him look like someone who prostituted his reputation for advertising purposes and was thus unworthy of his status. At trial, several golfers gave evidence to the effect that if an amateur sold himself for advertisement, he no longer maintained his amateur status and might be asked to resign from his respective club. Furthermore, there was evidence that the possible adverse effects of the caricature on the claimant’s reputation were brought to the defendants’ attention. The trial judge found that the caricature could have a defamatory meaning. The jury then found in favor of the claimant. Held The House of Lords held that in the circumstances of this case – as explained by the facts – the caricature was capable of constituting defamation. In other words, the publication could have the meaning alleged by the claimant. The Lords also ordered a new trial limited to the assessment of damages. NEWSTEAD V LANDON EXPRESS NEWSPAPER LTD, (1939) Facts: A newspaper published a defamatory article about Harold Newstead. However, another person with this name brought an action in libel. He claimed that the article had been misunderstood as leading to him. The defendant newspaper recognised that they published the article. Also, they denied that they had the intention of being defamatory of him. Consequently, the claimant argued that the newspaper was under a duty. The duty was to give a clear and complete description of the correct person. Moreover, the claimant argued that the defendants were in breach of the duty. Issues: The issue in Newstead v London Express Newspaper, was if the reasonable persons would have understood the words complained of to refer to the plaintiff. Held: The Court of Appeal stated that in accordance with the current law on libel, liability for libel does not depend on the intention of the defamer; but on the fact of the defamation. Accordingly, a reasonable man, in this case a newspaper publisher, must be aware of the possibility of individuals with the same name and must assume that the words published will be read by a reasonable man with reasonable care.
