PLEADER, SRI. P.N. SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. --------------------- W.P.(C).No.9584 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 25th day of March, 2009. JUDGMENT Petitioner submits that he is a dealer of sand and other things. According to the petitioner he is bringing sand from Tamil Nadu and that the transportation of soil is with the required permits. Despite this proceedings have been initiated against him under the provisions of the Kerala Protection of River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand and such proceedings are pending before the first respondent. It is at this stage, the writ petition has been filed challenging the very proceedings. 2. In my view, to adjudicate the correctness of the contentions raised, appreciation of facts and documents that are available before the first respondent is necessary. Therefore at this stage, it will not be proper for this court to interfere with the proceedings. /2/ Be that as it may, now that the petitioner submits that he has filed Ext.P6 application before the District Collector seeking interim custody of his vehicle, I direct the first respondent to consider Ext.P6 and pass orders there on, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 10 days from the date of production of a copy of the judgment.
