THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1793 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner holds a heavy goods vehicle driving licence. He was employed with the owner of vehicle bearing No.AP 05 TU 0396. On 12.01.2011, the vehicle was checked by the Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector, Gudiwada. A check report was issued alleging that the vehicle was overloaded. The licencing authority, East Godavari District, Kakinada respondent No.2 herein, issued a show cause notice, dated 13.01.2011, requiring the petitioner to explain as to why his licence be not suspended for a period of four weeks for driving the vehicle with overload. Reference was made to Section 86 of the Motor Vehicles Act (for short ‘the Act’). The petitioner submitted his explanation on 17.01.2011. Not satisfied with that, respondent No.2 suspended the licence of the petitioner, through order, dated 18.01.2011, for a period of two weeks i.e. up to 02.02.2011. The same is challenged in this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Transport. The only provision invoked against the petitioner is Section 86 of the Act. It pertains to suspension of cancellation of permits. The provision has nothing to do with the grant of suspension or cancellation of driving licences. On this short ground, the writ petition is allowed and the impugned order is set aside. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:01.02.2011 kdl
