THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2189 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner’s vehicle bearing Registration No. QUT R 31705005875 (STEW MABB5TT00076/11/2009) was seized by the 2nd respondent on 28.01.2011 for certain irregularities and infractions pointed out in the vehicle cheque report No.1182658. The seizure was affected under Section 207 of the Motor Vehicles Act. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents have not yet released the vehicle. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Transport. As no purpose would be served by keeping the vehicle in the custody of the respondents and the vehicle would only get damaged, the writ petition is disposed of, directing respondent No.2 to forthwith release the vehicle to the interim custody of the petitioner subject to his depositing Rs.5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) and on filing an undertaking that he would produce the vehicle as and when the same is required by respondent No.2 in the course of enquiry and investigation. It is however, directed that the petitioner shall not be entitled to use the vehicle unless it is registered and proper documents are obtained for it. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:04.02.2011 kdl
