The provisions of The Haryana Murrah Buffalo and Other Milch Animal
Breed (Preservation and Development of Animal Husbandry and Dairy
Development Sector) Act, 2001 (''Act'')'', requires every milk
processing company to pay milk cess not exceeding fifteen paisa per
litre on registered capacity of a milk plant under Milk and Milk
Product order, 1992.Accordingly Haryana State Government, vide its
notification no. 6388-AH-4-2001/16142 dated 9th September, 2001,
imposed a milk-cess often paisa per litre on the registered capacity of
plants.

against this was considered necessary.
