The second respondent conducted a check on 14.07.2010. On an allegation that the petitioner did not produce proof of renewal of fitness certificate, proof of payment of tax for the quarter ending 30.09.2010, and driving licence, the second respondent seized the vehicle under Vehicle Check Report No.2336528, dated 14.07.2010. Aggrieved by the seizure, the present writ petition is filed. When any motor vehicle liable to be taxed in the State is seized for contravention of Section 8 of the Andhra Pradesh Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, 1963, the owner is at liberty to move the first respondent under Section 207(2) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, read with Rule 448-B of the Andhra Pradesh Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. The petitioner has not made any attempts in that direction. Therefore, we are not inclined to entertain the writ petition at this stage. The Writ Petition is disposed of giving liberty to the petitioner to make an application as indicated hereinabove before the first respondent which shall be considered on its own merits in accordance with law within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of the application for release.
