No.4370 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 10th day of February, 2009 J U D G M E N T Challenge in the writ petition is against the condition imposed by the 1st respondent in Ext.P1 for releasing the vehicle. The lorry of the petitioner was seized on the allegation that it was used for black marketing the kerosene, which has to be kept for distribution under the Public Distribution System. It is for releasing that lorry, the condition has been imposed in Ext.P1 that the petitioner should remit the value of the kerosene. I see nothing illegal in the discretionary order passed by the 1st respondent. The writ petition fails and is, accordingly, dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
