Maheshwari Singh vs State Of Bihar And Ors. on 5 May, 1966

12. The provisions of the Central Act have been considered by a Division Bench of the Patna High Court in the decision reported in Maheswari Singh v. State of Bihar [AIR 1966 Patna 462]. It has been held by the Bench that the expression 'Tolls' used was intended to convey the same meaning as was given to the expression in British viz., a levy for the purpose of providing funds for the maintenance of roads and bridges and repayment of the loan, if any, for that construction. The preamble to the Central Act provides that the Central Act has been enacted to enable the Government to levy tolls on roads and public bridges. The toll has been levied to create a fund for laying of public roads and construction of bridges, and for the maintenance of roads and bridges. It is not necessary that the toll must be correlated to the actual expenses of construction or maintenance of a particular bridge. Section 2 of the Central Act clearly lays down the guidelines for levy of toll.
