Javed Ali .....Petitioner.
Versus
State of Uttarakhand & others ....Respondents.
Counsel for the Petitioner : Mr. Jitendra Chaudhary, learned
counsel.
Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 & 2 : Ms. Puja Banga, learned Brief
Holder.
Counsel for the Respondent Nos.3 & 4 : Mr. Vipul Sharma, learned
counsel.
The Court made the following:
JUDGMENT:
(per Hon'ble The Chief Justice Ms. Ritu Bahri)
The only grievance of the petitioner, in this writ
petition, is that the respondents are not extending the
contract of the petitioner after 31.03.2024.
2. Mr. Vipul Sharma, learned counsel for the Zila
Panchayat has supplied a copy of the letter dated 26.03.2024
to learned counsel for the petitioner where reference has
been made to the letter dated 30.06.2022, whereby the State
Government has given directions to all the Zila Panchayats to
de-notify the regulations for collecting toll tax. He further
submits that after expiry of the contract of the petitioner, no
new contract is being given to anyone.
3. Keeping in view the letter dated 26.03.2024, and
30.06.2022, no extension can now be granted to the
petitioner, as a conscious decision has already been taken by
the State Government to debar the Panchayats for carrying
out the process of collecting toll.
4. Petitioner will have a cause of action if this toll
plaza is being given to anybody in future against the letter
dated 26.03.2024 as well as the letter dated 30.06.2022.
5. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
6. Pending application, if any, also stands disposed of.
