‘Stamp Collector order illegal’
Denying any evasion of stamp duty, Team Anna member Shanti Bhushan termed the order of the Stamp Collector as “totally illegal”. He has decided to challenge the order in the High Court through a writ petition.
“This order of the Stamp Collector is totally illegal and contrary to the law clearly laid down in AIR 1986 Allahabad 107 case. Section 47A which deals with evasion of stamp duty and has been applied by the Stamp Collector is not even applicable in this case,” Bhushan said in a statement.
He alleged that the order was made under political pressure and claimed that even the Stamp Collector had told his counsel that there was a lot of political pressure in this case.
“This illegal order will be challenged in the HC through a writ petition,” Bhushan said.
