SIRI JAGAN, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No. 13628 of 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 19th day of May, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges Ext.P2 order passed by the 1st respondent under the Kerala Protection of River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand Act, 2001 directing the petitioner to pay an amount of Rs.86,000/- towards the River Management Fund for violation of the provisions of the Act, which is the value of the vehicle used for illegal transport of river sand. As is clear from the order itself the petitioner himself admitted before the District Collector that he had transported river sand unauthorizedly without obtaining proper permit or pass. As the violation is admitted by the petitioner, I do not think that this court would be justified in interfering with Ext.P2 order. Accordingly this writ petition is dismissed. S.
