GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 3458 OF 2009 (J) ==================== Dated this the 3rd day of February, 2009 J U D G M E N T The challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P2. 2. Petitioner is an agreement owner of vehicle bearing Regn.No.KL-2/8483, which is found to have been engaged in the unauthorised transportation of river sand. 3. Although several contentions are raised, a reading of Ext.P2 itself shows that the petitioner has confessed his guilt before the District Collector. If that be so, the finding of guilt as reflected in Ext.P2 cannot be faulted. Even regarding the amount ordered to be remitted towards the River Management Fund, I do not think there is anything disproportionate in the quantum fixed. 4. I am not satisfied that the petitioner has made out a case for interference. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
