AFZULPURKAR WP NO. 30791 OF 2011 ORDER: Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner’s vehicle bearing No. AP 31 TW 0126 was seized by the first respondent under his proceedings dated 16.11.2011 and he has entrusted the custody of the vehicle to 2nd respondent. This writ petition is filed questioning the seizure of the vehicle on the ground that the petitioner was having necessary way bills in support of the transportation of the sand, a copy thereof is produced before this Court together with necessary clearance from the RTA, Hyderabad and he requests for release of the vehicle. After hearing the learned Government Pleader for Mines and Geology, who, on instructions, submits that no such way bills were produced before the 1st respondent and that the vehicle appears to have been involved in second offence of this nature, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition by permitting the petitioner to produce the way bills and other documents relating to the vehicle before the 1st respondent and request for release of the vehicle and on such request being made by the petitioner, the 1st respondent shall forthwith act upon and in due consideration of the documents, shall pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, within 24 hours of the petitioner’s filing of the requisite application. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J Dt. 25.11.2011 NB: CC of order be furnished by tomorrow. /BO/ KR
