THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. ----------------------- W.P.(C).No.6100 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 3rd day of March, 2009. JUDGMENT The writ petition was filed mainly aggrieved by the seizure of the vehicles effected by the first respondent. Petitioners' case is that they were transporting brick clay quarrying on the basis of Ext.P1 permit and therefore here is absolutely no justification for the detention of the vehicles. The counsel for the petitioners submit that after the writ Petition was admitted, the vehicles were released by the 5th respondent. In view of this the grievance of the petitioner stands substantially redressed. 2. However, the Petitioner seeks a direction to the respondents not to harass them so long as their activities are legitimate. 3. Taking into account the case of the petitioners that the transportation is on the strength of Ext.P1 permit, WP(c).No.6100/09 /2/ it is directed that, if the brick clay is removed or transported in terms of permits or licences, the petitioners will be permitted to transfer the same without any hindrance. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WP(c).No.6100/09 /2/
