STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The Court Fees Act, 1870 (7 of 1870) is a Central Act as in force in the National Capital Territory of
Delhi. Section 16A of the Act is creating an arbitrary distinction between persons who seeks refund of court
fees under Section 16 and Section 16A of the Court Fees Act, 2010, and therefore is ultra vires to the
Constitution of India. Accordingly, it is proposed to amend the section 16 and omit section 16A inserted vide
the Court Fees (Delhi Amendment) Act, 2010.
The Bill seeks to achieve the above objects.
PRAVESH SAHIB SINGH, Minister (Legislative Affairs)
MEMORANDUM REGARDING DELEGATED LEGISLATION
The Court Fees (Delhi Amendment) Act, 2026 does not seek to confer power on any functionary to
make subordinate legislation.

For the implementation of the proposals to consider amendment of section 16 of the Court Fees Act,
1870 (07 of 1870) there will be an average annual expenditure of Rupees: 16479035.
