Writ Appeal Nos.1032 & 1033 of 2010 .................................................................... Dated this the 22nd day of June, 2010. JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. These Writ Appeals are filed against judgment of the learned Single Judge directing release of the vehicle on payment of 50% of value of the vehicle. In view of the different conditions imposed by two Division Benches for release of vehicle pending adjudication, the matter stands referred to Full Bench. However, we do not think every case should be referred to Full Bench because Full Bench decision can be followed by statutory authorities in the course of adjudication. We, therefore, dispose of the Writ Appeals directing the District Collector to release the vehicles on payment of Rupees twenty five thousand (Rs.25,000/-) each for each vehicle and on deposit of the amount, the Collector shall release the vehicles after arranging to make endorsement in the RC book that release of vehicle is subject to adjudication and that the vehicles shall not be sold by appellants until final orders are passed by the Collector. The Collector is directed to 2 withhold adjudication proceedings until Full Bench pronounces judgment in the matter and the adjudication subsequent to release order should be in accordance with the judgment of the Full Bench. The vehicles will be released on payment of the amount as stated and after making endorsement in the RC book and after unloading the sand. Issue photocopy today itself.
