Explaining the irregularities that are noticed in Ext.P4, the petitioner submits that the order issued by M/s. A.V.Thomas & Co. required the petitioner to deliver the goods at the Central Warehousing Corporation, Kanjikode, Palakkad. In regard to the delay, the petitioner submits that the vehicle had broken down and refers to Ext.P5 bill issued by a workshop where the vehicle was repaired. 2. In view of the nature of the irregularities noticed and the explanations that are offered, I am satisfied that this is a case for enquiry as contemplated in the Act. However, it does not appear necessary to detain the goods or the vehicle in the meanwhile, particularly since the petitioner is a registered dealer. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, I direct that the goods will be released to the petitioner on his executing a simple bond without sureties subject to adjudication in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Issue copy today itself mt/-
