IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY, THE EIGHTH DAY OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.15109 OF 2011 Between: Venkateshwar Reddy. - - - Petitioner. AND The Deputy Transport Commissioner and Secretary, Regional Transport Authority, Warangal, Warangal District and another. - - - Respondents. This Court made the following : THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.15109 of 2011 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondent – Regional Transport Authority in suspending the permit of the petitioner’s vehicle for the period specified therein is arbitrary and illegal. A perusal of the impugned order shows that the petitioner’s vehicle was seized alleging violation of permit conditions and a show cause notice was issued to the petitioner calling for explanation as to why the permit should not be suspended under Section 86 of the Motor vehicles Act, 1988. Thereafter, the impugned order came to be passed suspending the permit for a period of two months. Aggrieved by the same, this Writ Petition is filed contending that the suspension for a period of two months is unwarranted. The learned counsel for the petitioner has brought to my notice that in identical circumstances this Court disposed of W.P. No.3781 of 2011 by order dated 18-02-2011 holding that the suspension of the permit for a period of two months was excessive.. Having regard to the fact that the petitioner herein is also similarly situated, I deem it appropriate to restrict the period of suspension to one month instead of two months as ordered in the impugned order. Accordingly the Writ Petition is disposed of restricting the period of suspension of the permit of the petitioner’s vehicle to one month. After expiry of the period of one month, the vehicle shall be released to the petitioner. No costs. __________________ Justice G.
