Dated this the 26th day of July, 2011 JUDGMENT 1.In this writ petition, the petitioner complains that his vehicle bearing registration No.KL-57-7834 has been detained on the allegation that the vehicle was used for transportation of river sand in violation of the provisions contained in the Kerala Protection of River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand Act, 2001. According to the petitioner, though he has made Ext.P2 representation for interim custody of the vehicle, the same was not considered. With this grievance, the writ petition has been filed. 2.A Full Bench of this Court in Shan C.T. v. State of Kerala [2010(3)KHC 333] has laid down the manner in which such applications for interim custody should be dealt with. Therefore, all that is necessary in the Writ Petition is to direct that the statutory authority, before whom Ext.P2 has been made, shall deal with the application in the light of the provisions of the Act referred above and in the manner as W.P.(C).20269/11 2 directed by the Full Bench of this Court in the judgment referred as above. 3.The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the Writ Petition before the concerned authority for appropriate action.
