Supreme Court On Toll Tax

The Supreme Court today agreed to hear on December 10 a plea of a consortium which levies toll on behalf of Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) from commercial vehicles entering Delhi, that the civic body be restrained from encashing its bank guarantee allegedly due to drop in tax collection.

The toll tax contractor of South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) has been collecting around Rs 1.25 crore of Environment Compensation Charge (ECC) every day since the 'green tax' was levied on trucks and other commercial vehicles entering Delhi as per a Supreme Court order.

The Supreme Court said today that the common man should not suffer and pay full toll tax for roads that are in bad shape, in the process criticizing the Central policies that allow private companies to get away with providing bad service.

The Supreme Court today came down heavily on the authorities for poor condition of a 26 km stretch between Raipur and Durg in Chhattisgarh and raised question on levy of toll tax from the commuters.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to stay the order of Punjab and Haryana High Court that had restrained collection of toll tax on the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway for 15 days to ensure free flow of traffic.
