MUMBAI:
The Bombay High Court has directed that Union of India and
Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar be made parties to
a PIL filed by Shiv Sena party member Subhash Desai regarding
levy of entertainment tax on the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The
next hearing takes place on 22 June.
The
court also allowed the petitioner to make Pawar a party to
the case since there are some allegations against him in the
petition.
The
PIL demands that Maharashtra government should recover entertainment
tax from the organisers of IPL.
The
petition alleges that the state government in January this
year decided to levy the entertainment tax on IPL but the
decision was not implemented.
