THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ----------------------------- W.P.(C) No.3922 of 2009 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 5th day of February, 2009 JUDGMENT Exhibit P3 order passed by the second respondent is under challenge. In this order, it has been found that lorry belonging to the petitioner bearing registration No.KRZ-9666 was engaged in the unauthorised transportation of river sand. Order itself shows that at the time when the vehicle was seized, the driver did not have a valid pass justifying the transportation. This being the admitted position, the finding in Exhibit P3 that the vehicle was engaged in the unauthorised transportation of river sand cannot be impugned. Writ petition fails and hence, it is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE scm
