Use of weights only or measures only or number only in certain cases.- Except in the cases of commodities specified in Schedule IV, the declaration of quantity in every transaction, dealing or contract, or for industrial production or for protection shall be in terms of the unit of- (a) weight, if the commodity is solid, semi-solid, viscous or a mixture of solid and liquid; (b) length, if the commodity is sold by linear measure; (c) area, if the commodity is sold by area measure; (d) volume, if the commodity is liquid or is sold by cubic measure; or (e) number, if the commodity is sold by number." 7. Quantity in every transaction, dealing or contract, or for industrial production, is to be mentioned in units. If commodity is solid, semi solid, viscous or mixture of solid and liquid, then unit of said transaction is weight i.e. mg, gm or kg. If commodity is sold by length and solid then by linear measure then unit will be cm, inches etc. If commodity is solid and sold by area, then unit is of area i.e. per square feet or square meter. If commodity is sold by length and solid then by linear measure then unit will be cm, inches etc. If commodity is solid and sold by area, then unit is of area i.e. per square feet or square meter. If commodity is solid and sold by volume, then unit is of volume i.e. cubic measure etc. and if unit is solid and sold in numbers, then transaction or industrial production of article is by number, i.e. dozen, half dozen etc. Schedule IV is prepared under Rule 11, which gives exceptions to certain commodities. In cases of said commodities, unit can be weight or volume, length or weight, weight or volume or number or weights. By said Schedule, it is described that certain commodities can be sold in two or more than two units. Like oil can be sold by weight or by volume. Similarly, electric wire can be sold by length or weight. Same is the case with oils, certain products can be sold by numbers and weights i.e. nails and screws etc. However, unit of electricity i.e. watt has not been described in the Schedule. Electricity is being sold by watt. Electricity unit in transaction is sold by unit watts per hour consumption. Said unit is not prescribed under the Rules. Though, fees for stamping of electricity meter is prescribed in Schedule XII prepared under Rule 17, but in absence of unit, which is not prescribed for transaction or industrial production, correctness of a meter cannot be examined by an Inspector and its verification and stamping is also not possible. 8. In view of same, no error has been committed by Courts in dismissing complaint case filed by complainant. If State Government wants stamping of meters, then State Legislature may amend the rules to include unit of electricity in the Schedule and alter the Rules. Petition is dismissed.
