The Madras High Court vide an order returnable on September 06, 2021 issued a Non-Bailable warrant against Grandhe Construction Private Limited ("the Petitioner No. 1") and Sri Murugan Earth Movers ("the Petitioner No. 2") in lieu of their Writ Petitions Nos. 26205 to 26207 of 2008.

The Non-bailable warrant thus passed was on account of the failure to pay Entry Tax on Import of Earthmovers by the Petitioner No. 1 & 2.

The Petitioners made a submission that they are not in a position to pay the required Entry Tax. The counsel appearing on their behalf stated that he has informed the fact regarding the hearing of the writ petitions before this Court to the Petitioners and they are not responding.

On perusal of all the facts and evidences, the Honorable Madras High Court therefore was inclined to issue Non-Bailable Warrant to the Petitioners, returnable on September 06, 2021.
