THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.10639 OF 2011 Dated: 19.04.2011 Between: D. Nandieshwar Goud … Petitioner And The Secretary, Regional Transport Authority, R.R. District (East), Office at Uppal, Hyderabad. … Respondent THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.10639 OF 2011 ORDER : The petitioner is the owner of goods vehicle bearing No. AP-24-W-2349. This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the proceedings dated 31.03.2011 issued by the respondent – Regional Transport Authority – thereby suspending the permit of the petitioner’s vehicle for a period of 30 days from 1.4.2011 is arbitrary and illegal. A perusal of the impugned order shows that the petitioner’s vehicle was seized on the ground of overload of 2090 kgs and thereafter a show-cause notice dated 26.3.2011 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 for violation of permit conditions. Thereafter, the impugned order came to be passed suspending the permit for a period of 30 days. Aggrieved by the same, this writ petition is filed contending that the suspension for a period of 30 days 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 30 days was excessive and accordingly restricted the period of suspension to 15 days. Having regard to the fact that the petitioner herein is also similarly situated, I deem it appropriate to restrict the period of suspension to 15 days instead of 30 days 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 15 days from 1.4.2011. No costs. _____________ G. ROHINI, J.
