Where to set request timeout on certain ASP.NET controller that has this timeout value? Is it in the constructor of the controller or somewhere else?
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.ScriptTimeout = 50;

Since ScriptTimeout is an application-wide static setting, the only sensible place to set it would be at application startup.
Alternatively, you could set it in the web.config file.
<configuration>
...
<system.web>
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="600" />

Bear in mind that the value of executionTimeout is in seconds, and will only have an effect if the "debug" attribute of the tag <compilation> (under <system.web>) is set to "false", as stated in this answer. Documentation

This is not correct. Setting
ScriptTimeout only has an effect for the current request. E.g. also mentioned in comment ScriptTimeout stackoverflow.com/a/579599/1059776If you want to apply the timeout to all actions of the controller setting ScriptTimeout seems like a good choice.
One exception would be if the upload duration may already exceed the application-wide executionTimeout setting. In that case the timeout occurs before execution reaches the controller and therefore the constructor won't have a chance to make the setting.
A workaround in this scenario is setting ScriptTimeout in Application_BeginRequest after analyzing HttpContext.Current.Request.Path.
