THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.20840 of 2006 Dated 04-10-2006 Between: B. Srinivas Reddy. ..... PETITIONER AND The Deputy Transport Commissioner & Secretary, Hyderabad, and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.20840 of 2006 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of Mandamus to declare the seizure of the petitioner’s vehicle bearing No.AP/28 W 3399 vide vehicle check report No.146862 on 02-10-2006 by respondent No.2 as illegal and arbitrary. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents. A perusal of the vehicle check report discloses that the petitioner has violated certain provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and the Andhra Pradesh Motor Vehicles Taxation Act, 1963. With regard to the violations alleged, it is a matter of enquiry by the competent authority. However, as the enquiry will take sometime, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to release the vehicle on condition of the petitioner depositing a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) before respondent No.1. It is made clear that it is open to the respondents to proceed with the enquiry and the amount ordered to be deposited by this Court is subject to final orders in the enquiry. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No orders as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J Dated 04-10-2006 Note: Issue operative portion by wire at party’s costs.
