THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 25613 OF 2011 Dated: 15.09.2011 Between: Uppathala Srinivas ..... PETITIONER AND The Deputy Commissioner of Prohibition and Excise and another ..... RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 25613 OF 2011 ORDER : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the 1st respondent in detaining the Tata Indica V2 Car bearing No.AP- 24-AG-0126, which was seized on 22.08.2011 on the ground that the petitioner was involved in an offence under the Prohibition Act, 1995 by carrying 20 plastic cans 10 liters each containing total 200 liters of ID Liquor, is arbitrary and illegal. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Prohibition and Excise appearing for the 1st respondent. As could be seen from the material available on record, the petitioner has already made an application for release of the vehicle and the same is yet to be heard by the 1st respondent. In the circumstances, without going into the merits of the case, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider the petitioner’s request for interim custody of the vehicle and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of one week from the date of receipt of this order. No costs. ​ ____________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 15.09.2011 Ivd
