HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.29195 OF 2008 ORDER: The petitioner questions the seizure of his vehicle bearing Tractor No.AP 22U 3298, under Vehicle Check Report No.0549166, dated 18-12-2008 as illegal and arbitrary and seeks a further direction to the respondents to release the said vehicle. It is the case of the petitioner that he is the owner of the tractor bearing No. A.P.22 U 3298 and he is using the said vehicle for transportation of the goods. While so, on 18-12-2008, while the vehicle was coming from Parigi to Tandur and when it reached the Bus stop, Thandur, the 2nd respondent with his staff stopped the vehicle and checked the same. During the course of the said check though the driver has shown all the relevant documents, but the Vehicle Check Report No.0549166 dated 18-12-2008 has been issued alleging that the vehicle is not covered by the insurance certificate and driving licence etc., It is stated that the petitioner paid all the taxes payable to the said vehicle. I am not inclined to express any opinion as to whether the petitioner has produced all the relevant documents or not, but, however, the said vehicle has been seized and detained by the Motor Vehicle Inspector for the purpose of conducting enquiry by the authorities concerned. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the respondents are directed to release the said vehicle on condition of the petitioner depositing a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) to the credit of the 1st respondent subject to the adjustment and refund depending upon the final orders that may be passed by the authorities concerned. With the above observation, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ________________________ Justice V.ESWARAIAH Date : 07-01-2009 Dvs HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.29195 OF 2008 Date : 07-01-2009
