P2 is an order passed by the 2nd respondent in terms of the Kerala Protection of River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand Rules, 2002. Ext. P2 shows that the order was passed with notice to the petitioner. As there is a positive finding that what was being transported was river sand in violation of the Rules, Ext. P2 is unassailable. The fine imposed also does not appear to be disproportionate. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
