Admittedly, on the date when the lorry was seized, the petitioners did not have any pass issued nor was it in the possession of the lorry operators. If that be so, unauthorized transportation of river sand is the only conclusion that is possible. Consequently, I do not find anything irregular with Exhibit P2 orders warranting interference. Writ petitions fail and are dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE scm
