Writ Petition (WPA 24869 of 2025) by Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations & Anr. against State of West Bengal & Ors., heard by Smita Das, J. (order dated 7.4.2026), concerning implementation of Advisory Memo No. 685-WT/TPT-15011/20/2026 dated 24.2.2026. The State respondent filed a report with regard to implementation of the advisory Board, which was taken on record; a resolution for proper implementation of the advisory had been adopted on 5.2.2026, to be effected within six months. Petitioners' senior counsel opposed, submitting that implementation remained pending despite adoption of the resolution; State counsel submitted that the instrument being an advisory and not a Notification, it would be implemented as expeditiously as possible. The Court disposed of the writ petition without going into its merits, directing that the resolution be implemented peremptorily by 15th September, 2026 and uploaded to the Transport Department Official Portal; since no affidavit was called for, the allegations in the writ petition were deemed denied and not admitted.
