Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
The Court held that the District Collector lacked jurisdiction to frame rules for windmill permissions under Section 161 of the Tamil Nadu Panchayat Act, 1994, as rule-making power vested solely with the State Government. Consequently, the impugned orders regarding building plans, property tax, license fees, and professional tax were set aside.
What did the court decide?
The impugned orders of the second respondent directing Panchayat to collect taxes, permit fees, and professional tax were set aside as being without jurisdiction.
