HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 28018 OF 2008 DATED 15TH NOVEMBER, 2010. BETWEEN K.Chaitanya …..Petitioner and The District Collector (CS), Warangal and ors. … Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 28018 OF 2008 ORDER: The petitioner prays for a direction to the respondents to release his lorry bearing registration No.MH.26H.7356, which was seized on 18.12.2008 in connection with the transportation of rice in contravention of the AP Rice Procurement (Levy) Order, 1984. Brieﬂy the facts of the case are that: the Sub- Inspector of Police, Mills Colony, Warangal, on receipt of certain information, intercepted the lorry bearing registration No. MH.26H.7356, which was carrying rice without valid documents. The petitioner ﬁled the present Writ Petition seeking release of the said lorry. This Court by interim order dated 23.12.2008, directed the respondents to release the said lorry in favour of the petitioner on furnishing third party immovable security for the value of the goods seized to the satisfaction of the Joint Collector, Warangal District. In pursuance of the said order of this court, the said lorry was released on furnishing third party security. The learned Counsel for the respondents submitted that proceedings initiated under Section 6-A of the Essential Commodities Act are going on. Inasmuch as the lorry in question was already released in favour of the petitioner, nothing survives in the Writ Petition. The Writ Petition is therefore disposed of, having become infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs. ------------------------------------------ JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA DATED 15T H NOVEMBER, 2010. Msnro
