Court Fee Calculation Based on Market Value - When consequential relief is claimed, the court fees should be calculated on the market value of the property or the value mentioned in the instrument. Multiple judgments emphasize that valuation for court fees must reflect the current market value and not just the relief amount.

Allahabad VS Mahanth Laxmi Narain - Allahabad
Relief Type and Its Impact on Valuation - If the relief sought is mere declaration without consequential relief, the court may fix a flat fee. However, when consequential relief (such as injunction or declaration affecting immovable property) is involved, the valuation should correspond to the market value of the property. The nature of relief influences whether ad valorem or fixed fee applies.

Vs GEORGE - Kerala, INDIAN LEAF TOBACCO DEVELOPMENT VS AGRICULTURAL MARKET COMMITTEE - Andhra Pradesh, T. S. Sridharan & Another VS M. F. Simon & Another - Madras
Legal Provisions and Judicial Ratification - Courts have consistently held that under the Court Fees and Suit Valuation Acts, the valuation for court fees should be based on the market value of the property, especially for declaratory and consequential reliefs. In cases where the valuation is undervalued, courts have the authority to reassess based on the actual market value.

Summary - When consequential relief is sought in a suit involving immovable property, court fees are to be calculated on the market value of the property, not merely on the relief amount or fixed fees.
