Hearing on Sanwara toll deferred

Legal Correspondent
Shimla, June 2

The High Court today deferred the hearing on a PIL petition, challenging the decision of collecting tax at the Sanwara toll plaza (Solan) for tomorrow.

The petition was listed before the court but due to the death of chairman of the Bar Council of Himachal Pradesh Ramakant Sharma, members of the Bar Association abstained from court work as a mark of respect. In view of this, the court adjourned the matter for tomorrow.

It was contended in the petition that as per rules, no toll plaza can be established in the same section within a distance of 60 km, whereas another plazas are situated at Chandimandir in Panchkula district and Parwanoo in Solan within 60 km from the Sanwara plaza.
