THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO Writ Petition No.20955 of 2003 ORDER: Petitioner purchased a lorry bearing No.AP 16 7821 from Vasireddy Vara Lakshmi. He got it transferred in his name being lorry No.HMW AP 16W 7821 dated 18.02.2003. Subsequently, said registration / transfer endorsement was cancelled by respondent by proceedings dated 16.09.2003, assailing which, present writ petition is filed. A perusal of Section 55 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, would show that before cancellation of registration or cancellation of transfer of endorsement, notice is required to be given to owner of lorry. This Court allowed similar writ petition being W.P.No.21451 of 2003, giving liberty to authorities to pass appropriate orders by giving notice to petitioner. Accordingly, this writ petition is allowed and impugned order is set aside, as no notice was issued to petitioner. It shall, however, be open to respondent to issue notice to petitioner and pass appropriate orders for cancellation of registration, as per law. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) August 24, 2009 Bvv
