SANTHOSH, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ----------------------------- W.P.(C) No.3488 of 2009 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of February, 2009 JUDGMENT In W.P(C) No.3499 of 2009, I have already upheld a similar order passed by the very same respondent and therefore, for the same reasons, Exhibit P1 order also deserves to be upheld. Learned counsel for the petitioner complains about the value of the vehicle fixed and the amount ordered to be remitted to the River Management Fund. It is seen that the vehicle is a '96 model vehicle' and value fixed is Rs.75,000/-. Having regard to the above, I do not find any reason to conclude that the value fixed is irrational calling for interference. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE scm
