J U D G M E N T KOSHY, Ag.CJ. Appellant/petitioner transported machinery. It was detained as delivery note, Form 15, had not accompanied the consignment. According to the appellant/petitioner, machinery was transported only for demonstration. That contention was not prima facie accepted by the authorities. Adjudication is still pending. Rs.22,00,000/- was demanded as security deposit for releasing the vehicle pending adjudication. In these circumstances, we direct that if the appellant/petitioner deposits 1/3 of the amount demanded and furnishes bond for the balance amount, the machinery shall be released to the appellant/petitioner subject to the result of the adjudication. Writ appeal is disposed of accordingly. J.B.KOSHY, ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE THOMAS P.JOSEPH, JUDGE bkn/-
