Hyderabad: The High Court on Friday directed all the transport operators entering the Telangana State to pay the Motor Vehicle Tax to the Telangana State Transport Department. A Division Bench consisting of Chief Justice Kalyan Jyothi Sengupta and Justice P V Sanjay Kumar directed that the tax money collected be kept in a separate account under the control of the Transport Commissioner of Telangana State till a final verdict was delivered by the court in the matter. The tax amount collected should not be used for any purpose, the Bench said.
The Bench gave these directions while hearing a batch of petitions filed by transport operators who ply contract carriages and goods vehicles. It may be mentioned that the Telangana State government had ordered levy and collection of Motor Vehicle Tax from April 1 this year, as the A P Reorganization Act, 2014, had empowered Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to levy and collect the tax. This order has been challenged in the High Court by a few transport operators. The High Court on April 2 had ordered the TS government to take the indemnity bonds furnished by the petitioners for the tax demanded, till it passed further orders.
