GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/09/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 28889 OF 2010 (I) ===================== Dated this the 28th day of September, 2010 J U D G M E N T The challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P2 final order passed by the District Collector exercising his powers under the Kerala Protection of River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand Act, 2001. The only contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the value of the vehicle has been fixed by the District Collector and not by an expert of the Motor Vehicles Department. This contention of the learned counsel is plainly untenable, as it is evident from Ext.P2 order itself that the value of the vehicle has been fixed by the Joint Regional Transport Officer vide his communication dated 11/3/2010, which is reference No.2 in the order. Writ petition therefore is only to be dismissed and I do so. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
