HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY W.P.NO. 423 of 2008 DATED: 8.1.2008 Between: Y. Prabhu Pratap … Petitioner and Regional Transport Officer, Medak at Sanga Reddy and others … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY W.P.NO. 423 of 2008 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleaders for respondents. In this writ petition, the petitioner has questioned the seizure of Tractor and Trailor bearing registration Nos. AP 10-G 3182 and A.P. 10-T 6663, respectively. A perusal of the Check Report dated 2.1.2008 indicates certain allegations against the petitioner i.e., non-production of R.C, permit, F.C and that the driver was not authorized to drive the vehicle. Alleging violation of Section 8 of the A.P. Motor Vehicles Taxation Act and also provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the seizure was effected. With regard to the allegations levelled, it is a matter of inquiry and this court cannot go into those allegations at this stage. However, it is stated that the petitioner has purchased the vehicle and using the same for agricultural purposes and the vehicle was seized while being brought from the mechanic shed. In that view of the matter, I dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents to release the vehicle in question, on depositing a sum of Rs.10,000/- (rupees ten thousand only) before the respondents. However, it is made clear that such deposit shall be subject to final orders by the competent authority, consequent to seizure. The petitioner also shall file an undertaking that he would not transfer or alienate the vehicle till appropriate final orders are passed. No costs. R. SUBHASH REDDY, J Date: 8.1.2008 Cvm/usd
