The High Court upheld the validity of the exemption notification dated 02.03.2023 issued u/s 3 of the U.P. Motor Vehicle Taxation Act, 1997. The notification imposed a condition that the vehicle must have been purchased in the State of Uttar Pradesh to avail the exemption. The Court held that Section 3 does not restrict the State Government's power to impose conditions for granting exemption. The condition regarding purchase of the vehicle within the State was found reasonable, as it allows the State to earn revenue through GST on such purchases. If vehicles are purchased from outside the State, the State loses that revenue. Therefore, the condition cannot be deemed unreasonable, and the petition challenging the notification was dismissed.
