Punjab Roadways Cannot Deprive Himachal Pradesh Govt Of Passenger Tax, Interest On Delayed Payment When Its Buses Are Plying On Territory: HC

Live Law  

The Himachal Pradesh High Court recently directed the Punjab Roadways to clear the interest due upon it for delayed payment of passenger tax and surcharge to the HP government. A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Tarlok Singh Chauhan and Justice Satyen Vaidya observed that the body first failed to deposit any tax with the authorities of Himachal Pradesh despite the fact that it had been running its buses within its territory, and then disputed liability of interest. The Himachal Pradesh government on the other hand argued that petitioner cannot claim any exemption from payment of interest towards its own negligence and as per the provisions of Section 12A of the HP PGT Act, it is mandatorily required to pay amount towards interest. However, as regards the imposition of tax which is not disputed and the interest thereupon, the petitioner can have no grouse qua the same, as it has been recovered in consonance with the provisions of the Act,” High Court said and directed Punjab Roadways to clear the outstanding interest.
