Orders
The High Court of Calcutta allowed a writ petition filed by Overseas Scrap Trading Corporation, directing the Howrah Municipal Corporation (HMC) to execute a deed of conveyance for two plots of land after the petitioner won a public auction in 2010 and deposited the requisite advance amount. The court rejected the State Government's objections regarding land record discrepancies and the applicability of the 2012 Land Policy, holding that HMC had statutory authority under Section 223 of the HMC Act to dispose of its property without prior government approval, and directing the State to grant necessary approval within eight weeks or HMC to proceed independently. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
