HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.20788 of 2010 Date : 15-9-2011 Between: J. Pandu s/o. J. Rekya .. Petitioner And The Deputy Commissioner of Transport, Nizamabad, Nizamabad District and another .. Respondents Counsel for petitioner : -- Counsel for respondents : Assistant Government Pleader for Transport The Court made the following: ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the seizure of lorry bearing No.AP 31Y 4518 on 13-8-2010 under check report No.0329261 as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner sought for a consequential direction to the respondents to release his lorry. At the hearing, there is no representation for the petitioner. I have heard the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Transport. By order dated 20-8-2010, this court directed release of the seized lorry to the petitioner subject to his paying a sum of Rs.10,000/- towards compounding fee which shall be subject to the result of the enquiry. As the learned counsel for the petitioner is not present at the hearing, it is not known whether the enquiry was completed or not. Inasmuch as the Writ Petition is limited to the issue of seizure of the lorry and there has already been an interim direction for release of the same subject to the condition referred to above, no further adjudication of the Writ Petition, on merits, is necessary. If the enquiry has not already been completed, respondent No.1 shall complete the same and pass an appropriate order within a period of one month from the date of receipt of this order. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel, WPMP No.26433/2010 is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ Justice C.V.
