No.KL-11/Q335. The vehicle was intercepted by the S.I. of Koratty Police Station on 8.6.2009 on the ground that the vehicle was involved in the illicit transportation of river sand. Petitioner preferred W.P (C) No.19536/2009 before this Court and directed the respondent to consider the petitioner's application for interim custody of the vehicle within one month from the date of receipt of the judgment. Thereafter, the respondent passed Ext.P5 order dated 10.8.2009 allowing interim custody of the vehicle with certain conditions. 2. Petitioner challenges certain conditions imposed in Ext.P5. The condition that the petitioner should remit an amount of Rs.50,000/- as security does not warrant any interference. But since an amount of Rs.50,000/- was directed to be deposited, it may not be necessary to again require two solvent sureties for the equal amount to execute a bond. The vehicle is only being W.P ( C) No.24078 of 2009 2 released only on interim custody. 3. The conditions that the vehicle shall not be used for transportation of sand and it shall not operate within the limits of district and it shall not be sold and transferred to any one till final orders are passed are all in consonance with the dictum laid down by this Court in Subramanian Vs. State of Kerala [2009 (1) KLT 77). None of those conditions require any interference by this Court. Subject to the above, writ petition is disposed of.
