HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.33830 of 2011 O R D E R: The tractor of the petitioner was seized allegedly on the ground of illegal transportation of sand. The petitioner’s counsel, however, relies upon the authorization and permit granted to him for the purpose of Indiramma Housing Programme. He therefore seeks release of the vehicle by contending that the other cases of seizure, which are dealt with under G.O.Ms.No.84, Industries and Commerce Department, dated 10.04.2007, by imposing specified fine, would not apply to this case. At this stage it is not possible to adjudicate upon the said aspect. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to obtain release of the vehicle in question subject to his depositing an amount of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only). However, the respondents shall conduct an enquiry and if the transportation of sand by the petitioner is found to be authorized, the amount directed to be deposited above, would be returned to the petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J Date: 28.12.2011 Note: Furnish CC by tomorrow B/o va
