THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU WRIT PETITION NO.29627 OF 2011 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed to declare the action of respondent No.2 in seizing and detaining the petitioner’s Maxi Cab vehicle bearing Reg.No. AP-13-Y-1247 under Vehicle Check Report No.2193133, dated 01.11.2011, as illegal and arbitrary. Learned Counsel for the petitioner contended that the vehicle of the petitioner was illegally seized and hence, he prays to release the vehicle. On the other hand, Learned Government Pleader for Transport appearing for the respondents contended that the quarter ending Tax has not been paid to the vehicle in question and therefore, it was seized. There cannot be any dispute that without payment of Tax, no vehicle can be permitted to ply on the road. The petitioner has to pay the Tax as per law. Therefore, the seizure of the vehicle cannot be said to be illegal when the petitioner was plying the vehicle without paying the quarter ending Tax. Therefore, the petitioner is directed to pay the quarter ending Tax to the first respondent and thereafter, the vehicle shall be released on his depositing an amount of Rs.5,000/- with the first respondent. The amount so deposited shall be subject to result of the case. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ K.C.BHANU.
