NOTES A machinery installed as a temporary measure for the purpose of a construction activity can also be termed as a portable machine. It is not a permanent fixture and it is definitely capable of being moved from one site to another site. The largeness of the machinery will not exclude it from the meaning of the word "portable" used in the Statute. If a concrete mixture is considered to be portable, a hot mix plant having a dimension, may be a little more than a concrete mixture, can also be treated as "portable". Therefore, we are of the view that the Panchayat cannot contend that an application under S.233 is required for the purpose of installing a hot mix plant which is used for preparation of hot mix for tarring purposes and that too with reference to construction of a High Way. - Janardhanan Nair v.

Prescription of shorter period in any Rules cannot prevail, and time limit stipulated under S.233(3) will prevail over R.12(3)(c) and hence, claim for deemed licence cannot be sustained.

NOTES
A machinery installed as a temporary measure for the purpose of a construction activity can also be termed as a portable machine. It is not a permanent fixture and it is definitely capable of being moved from one site to another site. The largeness of the machinery will not exclude it from the meaning of the word "portable" used in the Statute. If a concrete mixture is considered to be portable, a hot mix plant having a dimension, may be a little more than a concrete mixture, can also be treated as "portable". Therefore, we are of the view that the Panchayat cannot contend that an application under S.233 is required for the purpose of installing a hot mix plant which is used for preparation of hot mix for tarring purposes and that too with reference to construction of a High Way. - Janardhanan Nair v.
