No.2444 of 2010 (E) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 27th day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is the registered owner of the vehicle bearing Regn.No.KL-19 1323 involved in Crime No.258/2009 of Neyyar Dam Police Station, registered under the provisions of the Abkari Act. The petitioner sought interim custody of the vehicle, which was allowed on deposit of the value of the vehicle. Thereupon the petitioner sought release of the vehicle accepting a bond in lieu of the deposit of the value. That was not allowed and therefore, this writ petition is filed. The 1st respondent has ordered that the vehicle can be released only if the deposit is made, which order is perfectly legal. In such case, this Court will not be justified in interfering with the order passed, substituting the condition enclosed by the respondents. Therefore, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition. This writ petition is accordingly dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
