The writ petitions are filed mainly to declare that Schedule IV of the Kerala Legal Metrology (Enforcement) Rules, 2012 is violative of Article 14, 19(1)(g) and 21 of the Constitution of India and ultravires to Sec.53 of the Legal Metrology Act 2009 (for short “the Act, 2009”). There are other connected reliefs also prayed in the writ petitions. The learned counsel appearing in these writ petitions submitted that W.P.(C.) No. 35302/2014 may be taken as the leading case **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **81** and the facts in that case will be sufficient for the resolution of the issue in these writ petitions. Therefore, I will narrate the facts and exhibits in W.P.(C.) No. 35302/2014. 2. The 1[st] petitioner is an association representing the licensed manufacturers, dealers and repairers and also their employees, who are engaged in the field of trade dealing with weight and measures in the State of Kerala. The association is registered under the Indian Trade Union Act and the registration number is mentioned as registration No.02-10/97. The 2[nd] , 3[rd] , 4[th] and 5[th] petitioners are the licensees under the Act, 2009. The Central Government enacted the Act 2009 which has come into force on 1.4.2011. The said Act replaces the Standard of Weights and Measures Act, 1976 and Standard of Weights and Measures (Enforcement) Act, 1985. The main object of Act 2009 is to establish and enforce the standards of weights and measures, regulate trade and commerce in weights, measures and other goods which are sold or distributed by weight, measures or number and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **82** 3. Sec. 23(1) of the Act, 2009 prohibits the manufacture, repair or sale of weights or measures without a license. As per Sec.23(2), for the purpose of sub-section (1), the controller shall issue a license in such form and manner, on such conditions, for such period and such area of jurisdiction and on payment of such fee as may be prescribed. The term 'manufacturer' is defined under Clause (i) of Section 2 and the term 'repairer' is defined under Clause (p) of Section 2 of the Act, 2009. The 'prescribed' is defined as per Sec.2(o) of the Act, 2009. Section 53 of the Act 2009 empowers the State Government to make rules with respect to the subjects listed therein. As per Sec.53, it is mandatory on the part of the State Government to have a consultation with the Central Government before making any rule. It is also mandatory that the rules are to be made under the said section only after the previous publication in the official gazette. It is also mandatory that the rule made under the section shall be laid before the house(s) of State Legislature. 4. The State Government published in the official **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **83** gazette a draft Kerala Legal Metrology (Enforcement) Rules, 2011 as per GO (MS) No.101/2011/CAD dated 10.1.2011 under sub-section (4) of Sec.53. Ext.P11 is the copy of the Kerala Legal Metrology (Enforcement) Rules, 2012. The Rule 11 provides the procedure for licensing of manufacturer, repairer and dealer of weight or measure. Sub-rule 4 and 5 of Rule 11 deals with the Schedule of fee required to remit for renewal, alteration of license, publication of license etc. The petitioners are mainly aggrieved because according to them, there is a steep increase of license fee to be remitted by the petitioners at the time of renewal as per Ext P11. The Government of Kerala had framed Kerala Standards of Weights and Measures (Enforcement) Rules, 1992 under the Standards of Weights and Measures (Enforcement) Act, 1985. The Schedule VI of the said rule prescribe the licensing and renewal fee for manufacturers, repairers or dealers of weights and measures. The above rule was amended in the year 2006 as per the Kerala Weights and Measures (Enforcement) Amendment Rules, 2005. As per the Amendment Rules, 2005, the Schedule VII of the Rules, 1992 was substituted. Ext.P12 is the relevant page of the **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **84** notification. As per Ext.P12 for taking or renewing a manufacturer's license under the Act, the license fee fixed was Rs. 500/- per year and that of the repairers and dealers was Rs.100/-. It is the case of the petitioners that within a span of 6 years, the license fee is enhanced to Rs.5,000/- for each category uniformly by virtue of 2012 Rules, which is produced as Ext.P11. As per Ext.P11, the license/renewal of license fee as far as manufacturer is concerned is fixed as Rs.5,000/- and the same amount is fixed for repairers. Whereas it was Rs.500 and Rs.100/- per year respectively as per the 2006 Rules. It is also the case of the petitioners that as far as the dealers are concerned, the licence/renewal of license fee is Rs.5,000/- and the enhancement is from Rs. 100/- to Rs.5,000/-. It is the case of the petitioners that the members of the 1[st] petitioner union are finding it difficult to remit Rs. 5,000/- per year towards license fee. According to them, most of the members of the 1[st] petitioner union are licensed repairers, who are working in different rural areas in the State of Kerala and their income from the profession is meagre. It is also stated that the members of the petitioner union are depending upon the **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **85** income derived from their business for their livelihood and the profit arising out of such business is very meagre. Aggrieved by the same the petitioners submitted Exts.P14 and P15 representations, but there was no response from the respondents. 5. It is also the case of the petitioners that as compared to other states in India, the enhancement in the license fee made by the State of Kerala is unreasonable, disproportionate and exorbitant. Exts.P16 to P19 are the rules framed by Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Delhi and Rajasthan. There the license/renewal application fee is meagre compared to the license fee fixed by the State of Kerala as per Ext.P11. According to the petitioners, the license fee fixed is exorbitant, burdensome, discriminatory, unreasonable, arbitrary and therefore offends Article 14, 19(1)(g) and 21 of the Constitution of India. Hence, these writ petitions are filed. 6. A counter affidavit is filed by the 1[st] and 2[nd] respondents disputing the facts in these writ petitions. According to the respondents, there is no illegality in framing **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **86** Ext.P11 Rule and it is strictly in accordance to Sec.53 of the Act, 2009. It is also the case of the respondents that the Government framed the Rules in accordance to Sec.53 and it is notified in the official gazette after following all mandatory requirement under the Act. It is the specific case of the respondents that prior to the notification of Ext.P11 rule, a draft rule was published by the Government on 11.1.2011 and objection was called for from the stakeholders and thereafter only, and that also in consultation with the Central Government, Ext.P11 rule was finalised and notified. It is also stated in the counter affidavit that the 1[st] petitioner-association or its members had not raised any objection against the draft rule notified by the Government at any point of time. It is also the case of the respondents that the license fee prescribed under the Schedule IV of Ext.P11 is a regulatory fee and it is not necessary that there should be any quid-pro-quo from the department for collecting the fee. According to the respondents, the fee prescribed under the Rules is not exorbitant or unreasonable. It is also stated that the levy of fee is a matter within the domain of the Government and being **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **87** regulatory fee, the Government have to depute technically qualified officers to ensure the standards in manufacture, maintenance and repair of the weights and measures in terms of the Act, 2009. 7. Considering the enforcement and to ensure standards, it is stated that the fee prescribed in the rule is needed and that is why the Government in its wisdom prescribed fees under the Schedule IV of Ext.P11 Rules. It is also stated that the Rules are finally notified only after consultation and approval of the Central Government. According to the respondents, the State Government cannot modify the Rules without any consultation with the Central Government. It is further stated that the mandatory requirements for the publication of notifications have been carried out by the State Government. 8. As far as the comparison of the fee structure with other States, in the counter affidavit it is stated that the fee structure is decided by the other States based on the prevalent conditions in those States. According to the respondents, it is **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **88** the responsibility of each Government to look up the state of affairs in their State and fix the fee structure accordingly. Several other contentions were also raised in the counter affidavit. An additional counter affidavit dated 14.11.2016 was also filed by the 1[st] respondent. The petitioners filed reply affidavit disputing the averments in the counter affidavit. 9. Heard Adv.C.S. Ajith Prakash, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners in all these cases. I also heard Adv.Deepa Narayanan, the learned Senior Government Pleader for the State, Sri.S.Manu, the learned ASGI, Sri.T.V.Vinu, learned CGC and the other CGCs appeared in this case. 10. The short point to be decided is whether the enhancement of licence/renewal of licence fee fixed by Ext.P11 is exorbitant or whether the enhancement of licence/renewal fee violates the fundamental rights of the petitioners under Articles 14, 19(1)(g) and 21 of the Constitution of India. When these writ petitions came up for consideration, the learned Government Pleader submitted that the Government is proposing to revise the fee structure and a draft amendment to the Kerala Legal Metrology (Enforcement) Rules, 2011 is **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **89** published as Kerala Legal Metrology (Enforcement) Amendment Rules 2021. A copy of the notification published is made available by the learned Government Pleader. The learned Government Pleader also submitted that if the petitioners are aggrieved by the fixation of the licence fee, they are free to submit their objection before the authority concerned. The learned Government Pleader further submitted that the objections, if any, submitted will be considered in accordance with law by the authority concerned. The learned Government Pleader also submitted that as per Schedule IV of the draft rules 2021, a change is proposed regarding the licence fee of repairers and it is actually reduced from the rate fixed as per Ext.P11 Rules. The licence fee of the repairers is reduced to Rs.2,000/- per year (including electronic equipment) instead of Rs.5,000/- in Ext.P11. It is also mentioned that the licence/renewal fee of repairers (excluding electronics) is reduced to Rs.500/- from Rs.1,000/- in Ext.P11. It is submitted that there is a substantial change proposed in the draft rules and the petitioners are getting an opportunity to submit their grievance before the authorities against this draft. Without **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **90** availing that opportunity, it is submitted that, the petitioners are pursuing these writ petitions. 11. There is some force in the argument raised by the Government Pleader. When the Government proposed to modify the licence fee structure by publishing a draft and inviting objections to the draft rules, it is the duty of the petitioners to approach the Government with their objection instead of pursuing these writ petitions filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Therefore, according to me, on that ground itself these writ petitions are to be dismissed, allowing the petitioners to raise their objections to the draft rules, before the State Goverment. When these writ petitions came up for consideration, this Court asked the counsel appearing for the petitioners to verify whether the petitioners are interested to proceed with these writ petitions or whether they want to submit their objection to the draft rule published. After getting instructions from the parties, the counsel for the petitioners submitted that since the writ petitions are pending before this Court from 2014 onwards and interim orders are passed by this Court allowing to pay a reduced licence fee, if these writ **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **91** petitions are closed, there will be a huge liability to the petitioners and therefore, the petitioners want to pursue these writ petitions. 12. The first point raised by the petitioners is that there is a huge increase from Rs.500/- to Rs.1000/- as far as licence/renewal fee of manufacturers is concerned. It is also submitted that the licence/renewal fee of the repairers are concerned, it is enhanced from Rs.100/- to Rs.5000/- . But one aspect which is to be noted is that as per 2012 rules the repairers are bifurcated to two groups namely “including electronics equipment” and “excluding electronics”. The fee of Rs.100/- per year fixed as per 2006 to repairers is enhanced to Rs.5000/- per year to the category “including electronics equipment”. As far as the category of licensees of repairers “excluding electronics”, the enhancement is only to Rs.1000/from Rs.100. 13. Moreover, the licence/renewal fee is an amount to be paid annually. The earlier rule was in 2006 and after about six years the annual fee is enhanced to Rs.5000/- and Rs.1000/respectively to different categories. Prima facie this Court is of **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **92** the opinion that there is no huge enhancement of the licence fee as contended by the petitioners. It is a one time payment in a year. Moreover, it is a specific case of the respondents that the licence fee is a regulatory fee and it is not necessary that there should be any quid-pro-quo from the department for collecting the fee. In paragraph 5 of the counter affidavit the reason for the same is mentioned in detail. It is stated that the levy of the fee is a matter within the domain of the Government and being regulatory fee, Government have to depute technically qualified officers to ensure the standards in manufacturer, maintenance and repair of the weights and measures in terms of the Legal Metrology Act, 2009. The State of Kerala formed the department of consumer affairs in the year 2007 by incorporating the Section of consumer affairs under the Food and Civil Supplies Department and Legal Metrology Department under the Revenue Department for strengthening and coordinating the consumer protection measures and activities in the State. To regulate these activities the licence fee is prescribed. It is a regulatory fee and it is not necessary that there should be any quid-pro-quo from **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **93** the department for collecting the fee. 14. The counsel for the petitioner relied the judgment of this Court in **Kerala Small Financier's Association vs. State of Kerala [1998 (2) KLT 813]** and contended that without rendering any service to the members of the association, the enhancement of licence fee from Rs.2000/- to Rs 5000/- in that case is held as arbitrary and unreasonable. As I observed earlier, the above judgment is not applicable to the facts and circumstances of the case. The principle of quid-pro-quo is not applicable in a regulatory fee fixed by the respondents. Therefore, the dictum laid down by this Court in the above judgment is not applicable to the facts and circumstances of this case. 15. The counsel also relied the judgment of this Court in **Vasudeva Pai vs. Municipal Commissioner Shertallai** **[1976 KHC 55]** . That was also a case in which this Court was considering the case in which there was levy of licence fee for storing textile materials and this Court observed that levy was held invalid as not supported by quid-pro-quo. Since I already observed that it is a regulatory fees fixed by the respondents, **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **94** the above judgment is also not applicable. 16. The learned Government Pleader relied on the judgment of the Apex Court in **Vam Organic Chemicals Ltd. and another vs State of U.P. and others** [1997 (2) SCC 715]. The Government Pleader submitted that, in that case the Apex Court observed that there is a distinction between the fee charged for licenses which are regulatory fees and fees for services rendered as compensatory fees. It will be better to extract paragraphs 11 and 18 of the judgment. _“11. The second part of the case relates to the question of quid pro quo between the services rendered by the State and the rate of fee charged. According to the petitioners/appellants, the fee charged was excessive and hence bad. The High Court pointed to the distinction between the regulatory fee and compensatory fee. It opined that the licence fee imposed for regulatory purposes may not carry with it any service rendered, but that such licence fee must be reasonable. Further, the High Court said, it would be appropriate to look to the expenditure which the State incurs for administering the regulation and if there is a broad corelation between the expenditure which the State incurs and the fees charged, the fees could be sustained as reasonable. It also referred to the counter – affidavit of the State to conclude that a good number of officers and employees are engaged in managing the laboratories besides the staff which is posted at the distilleries and so the rate of 7 paise per litre was in order._ _18. The High Court in the impugned judgment has drawn a_ **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **95** _distinction between fees charged for licences, i.e., regulatory fees and the fees for services rendered as compensatory fees. The distinction pointed out by the High Court can be seen in clause (2) of Article 110:_ _“110.(2) A Bill shall not be deemed to be a Money Bill by reason only that it provides for the imposition of fines or other pecuniary penalties, or for the demand or payment of fees for licences or fees for services rendered, or by reason that it provides for the imposition, abolition, remission, alteration or regulation of any tax by any local authority or body for local purposes”_ _The High Court has quoted from this Court's decision in Corpn. of Calcutta v. Liberty Cinema, which was based on a Privy Council judgment in George Walkem Shannon v. Lower Mainland Dairy Products Board. This Court said in the Corpn. of Calcutta v. Liberty Cinema:_ _“In fact, in our Constitution fee for licence and fee for services rendered are contemplated as different kinds of levy. The former is not intended to be a fee for services rendered. This is apparent from a consideration of Article 110(2) and Article 199(2) where both the expressions are used indicating thereby that they are not the same.”_ _The High Court has taken the view that in the case of regulatory fees, like the licence fees, existence of quid pro quo is not necessary although the fee imposed must not be, in the circumstances of the case, excessive. The High Court further held that keeping in view the quantum and nature of the work involved in supervising the process of renaturation and the consequent expenses incurred by the State, the fee of 7 paise per litre was reasonable and proper. We see no reason to differ with this view of the High Court.”_ 17. The Apex Court upheld the finding of the High court in that case that it would be appropriate to look to the **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **96** expenditure which the State incurs for administering the regulation and if there is a broad corelation between the expenditure which the State incurs and the fees charged, the fees could be sustained as reasonable. The Apex Court also upheld the view of the High court that in case of regulatory fees like the licence fees, existence of quid pro quo is not necessary although the fee imposed must not be in the circumstances of the case, excessive. As I observed earlier, this Court can not presume that the fee fixed by the respondents are excessive especially because it is only an annual fee. The manufacturers, dealers and repairers need to pay this only once in a year. Moreover it is a regulatory fees fixed by the State Government. Therefore according to me, there is nothing to interfere with the enhancement made as per Ext P11. 18. The next point raised by the petitioners is that there is no proper consultation before framing Ext.P11 Rules. The counsel submitted that as per Section 53 of the Act 2009, the State Government may frame the Rule only after consultation with the Central Government. The counsel for the petitioner **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **97** submitted that the consultation is not a formality. The counsel also relied on the judgment of the Apex Court in **Justice K.P.Mohapatra v. Sri Ram Chandra Nayak** [2002 KHC 1060]. 19. On this point, the learned Government Pleader takes me through the counter affidavit filed by respondents 1 and 2, in which it is specifically stated that there was proper consultation with the Central Government and the mandatory requirements for the publication of the notifications have been carried out by the State Government. The Central Government Counsel appearing in W.P.(C)No.33508/2019 takes me through the counter affidavit filed by the 1[st] respondent Union of India in that case. Paragraph No.6 of the counter affidavit filed by the 1[st] respondent in W.P.(C)No.33508/2019 is relevant and the same is extracted hereunder: _“6. In furtherance of implementing the provisions of the Legal Metrology Act, 2009, the Government of Kerala has promulgated the Legal Metrology (Enforcement) Rules, 2012 (hereinafter referred as “the Rules”). The Rules have been notified after following all legal procedures and formalities. The Government of Kerala has published the rules as per notification G.O._ **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **98** _(Ms.)No.01/2011/CAD dated 10.01.2011 and objections were called from the stakeholders; and thereafter, in consultation with the Government of India the rules were finalized and notified as per G.O.(Ms.)No.5/2012/CAD dated 20.07.2012 (S.R.O.No.584/2012).”_ In the light of the above statement from the State Government and from the Central Government, the contention that there is no proper consultation, can not be accepted. 20. The next point raised by the petitioner is based on Exts.P16 to P19. Exts.P16 to P19 are the Rules framed by the State of Tamil Nadu, State of Karnataka, Delhi and State of Rajasthan fixing the license fee. According to the petitioners, the fee fixed by the State Government as per Ext.P11 is too high compared to the fee fixed by the other States as evident by Exts.P16 to P19. The learned Government Pleader takes me through paragraph 8 of the counter affidavit filed by respondents 1 and 2. The Government Pleader submitted that the fixation of the fee is based on the condition in each State and it will differ from State to State. The Government Pleader submitted that there is no provision in the Act 2009 restricting the fee to a fixed amount. The State Governments are free to fix the license fee according to the condition prevailing in that **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **99** State. It is the responsibility of each Government to look up the state of affairs in their State and fix a fee structure accordingly. I think, there is force in the argument of the Government Pleader. The licence/renewal fee is fixed based on the circumstances of each State. It may differ from State to State. That is not a ground to challenge the enhancement of fee by the Kerala State as per Ext.P11. Therefore, that point is also unsustainable. 21. The counsel for the petitioner also submitted that, in addition to the license fee, other fees and payments are to be paid by the manufacturers, repairers and dealers. Therefore, even if the licence/ renewal fee is once in a year, that is a burden to the petitioners is the contention. This point also can not be accepted. The other fees that is payable which was bring to the notice of this Court by the petitioner are Rule 11 and other similar rules of Ext.P11. Rule 11(8) says about the security deposit for each licence as specified in Schedule VI. Schedule VI says about the security deposit to be made by the licensed repairer on weights and measures including weighting and measuring instruments. The counsel also submitted that **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **100** as per Rule 11(11) every person applying for a licence to repair should have passed at least a metric trade in ITI/VHSE or equivalent thereof. Unreasonable levy of fee will affect the fundamental right of the licensees under Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution is the contention. The counsel also submitted that as per Rule 14 of Ext.P11, for every person using or intending to use any weight or measures in any transaction or protection shall present such weight or measures for re-verification as the case may be at the office of the Legal Metrology Officer, for which also there is user fee. But that is not a liability of the manufacturer, dealer of repairer. Hence, the contention that there are other liabilities in addition to the license fee/renewal fee to the manufacturer, dealer and repairer cannot be accepted. 22. Therefore, in the light of the facts narrated above, according to me, there is nothing to be interfered with the licence/renewal fee fixed as per schedule IV of Ext.P11. Payment of an annual fee of Rs.5,000/- or Rs.1,000/- by the respective licensee may not infringe the fundamental rights of **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **101** the petitioners under Article 14, 19(1)(g) or 21 of the Constitution of India. In the light of the statements made by the State Government and the Central Government, it cannot be said that there is no valid consultation as per Section 53 of the Act, 2009. 23. The counsel for the petitioners also submitted that from 2014 onwards, based on the interim order passed by this Court, the petitioners are renewing the license on payment of double the license fee based on pre-amended rate and if this Court dismiss the same, there will be a huge liability to the petitioners. The first order passed by this Court was on 17.12.2015 in WP(C) No.35302 of 2014, which is extracted hereunder: _“The writ petition is filed challenging validity of the Kerala Legal Metrology Rules for enhancing renewal of licence fee._ _2. No counter affidavit is seen filed in spite of lapse of more than one year._ _3. In that view of the matter the petitioner’s licence shall be renewed on payment of double the licence fee based on pre amended rate, which will be subject to the result of_ **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **102** _the writ petition._ _4. If ultimately the writ petition is dismissed, the petitioners will have to pay the enhanced rate with effect from the date on which it was enhanced._ _Post immediately after the vacation.”_ 24. In the above order it is clearly stated that if ultimately the writ petition is dismissed, the petitioners will have to pay the enhanced rate with effect from the date on which it was enhanced. The petitioners in these writ petitions took the risk and paid the amount based on the interim orders passed by this Court. Therefore, at this stage, the petitioners cannot say that there will be a huge liability, if the writ petitions are dismissed. Therefore, that contention also cannot be accepted. 25. In the light of the above discussion, this court is of the view that, there is no merit in these writ petitions. The petitioners are free to raise their objections, if they are aggrieved by the fixation of licence fee, based on the draft rule published as Kerala Legal Metrology (Enforcement, Amendment) Rule, 2021. The observations in these writ **WP(C) NO. 35302 OF 2014 & CONNECTED CASES** **103** petitions will not stand in the way of the petitioners in raising their objections before the competent authority and if such objections are submitted, the competent authority will consider the same, in accordance to law. With the above observation, these writ petitions are dismissed.
