DSC LIMITED Vs. STATE OF UP

JUDGEMENT

(1.) NOTICE on behalf of respondents has been accepted by the learned Chief Standing Counsel.

(2.) WE have heard Sri Bharat Ji Agarwal and Sri S.M.K. Chaudhary, learned Senior Advocates, assisted by Sri Shubham Agarwal for the petitioner and Sri HP. Srivastava, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel for the State.

(3.) THE grouse is that because of inaction on the part of the Commissioner and unlawful attitude of the assessing authority, not only the petitioner's business is suffering, but the project of laying down the national highway has come to a stand still. Petitioner's submission is that it is not only against the provisions of the Act, but also against the national interest, as the cost of construction would be escalated and general public would also suffer for want of a good highway. He further says that the project is to be completed by 24.12.2010.
