Srinagar, July 12: Jammu and Kashmir High Court has issued a notice to Commissioner/Secretary to Transport Department, Transport Commissioner and in-charge RTO Kashmir on a contempt petition on a fresh circular on June 10 this year on re-registration of the vehicles with outside number and levying token tax on them in J&K.

A division bench of Chief Justice Pankaj Mithal and Justice Sanjay Dhar issued the notice, observing that the statement of facts, filed by the Transport Department, do not reveal the provision under which the department can realize “tax again” on a motor vehicle on which a life time tax has already been paid in a different state.

In the contempt petition, the petitioner through senior counsel Faisal Qadiri, contended that circular issued by the Commissioner/Secretary Transport Department was against the “purport” of the High Court’s April 29 judgment by virtue of which RTO Kashmir’s order regarding re-registration of the vehicles from outside J&K was quashed.

Among others, the judgment provides that a vehicle once registered in any state of India, shall not be required to be registered elsewhere in the country.

However, it said, that a motor vehicle registered in one state and, if kept for a period exceeding 12 months in another state, shall apply to the Registering Authority of the new state/UT for the assignment of the new registration mark and once the life time tax has been levied and paid on a motor vehicle at the point of the registration of a vehicle, no further tax can be levied and demanded on the vehicle, on it being removed from one state to another.

Senior advocate Faisal Qadiri, as per Global News Service, argued that despite the April 29 judgment and order, the Transport department was demanding 9% token tax from the owners of the vehicles, who have applied for assignment of new registration mark in the J&K even though their vehicles are duly registered outside J&K and have already paid life time tax on those vehicles.

Advocate Aman Ali, counsel appearing for the Transport Department, filed statement of facts. While taking it on record, the court however observed that statement of facts falls short of indicating a provision under which the Transport Department can realize tax again on a motor vehicle on which a life time tax has already been paid in a different state.

“In view of the facts and circumstances, we direct for issuing notice to (Commissioner/Secretary to Transport Department, Transport Commissioner and in-charge RTO Kashmir ) in person, who may file their response within one month,” the court said as per GNS and posted the contempt petition on August 24.
