JUDGMENT Detention of the goods as per Ext.P3 notice is under challenge. Going by the irregularities noticed by the officers and also the fact that the petitioner is not a dealer registered in Kerala, I am not persuaded to pass the order sought for directing release of the goods. However, if the petitioner furnishes Bank guarantee for the security amount demanded in Ext.P3 notice of detention, the goods and the vehicle will be released to the petitioner subject to further adjudication in terms of provisions of the Act. The writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. cl . 2 . 3
