Constitutional validity was upheld by the HC as:

The levy under the Act, 2007 is also not discriminatory, unreasonable or against public interest. The levy of entry tax under the Act, therefore, does not violate the freedom of trade, commerce and intercourse guaranteed under Art.301 of the Constitution of India. Section 7 of the Act validating the amount of entry tax levied, assessed, realized and collected under the U.P. Tax on Entry of Goods Act, 2000, is also valid and authorises the State to keep the entire amount, for the purposes of its utilisation for facilitating trade, commerce and intercourse in the local areas of the State
