November 9, 2024
The petitioner was directed to pay a 5% penalty of the prevailing plot cost for the belated implementation of the project as per Clause 2.1.2.(a) of O.O.No.30 of 2020. However, the petitioner complied with the clause by utilizing more than 65% of the plot and had commenced production before dispatching goods. Despite paying the penalty amount, the petitioner was again directed to pay a 5% penalty. The Court found infirmity and illegality in the impugned order and quashed it, allowing the petition, as the petitioner had already paid the penalty and commenced production before dispatching goods, complying with all conditions.
