IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE TENTH DAY OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.15903 OF 2011 Between: P.Venkata Rami Reddy … Petitioner AND The Deputy Transport Commissioner & Secretary and another. … Respondents This Court made the following : THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.15903 OF 2011 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Transport appearing for the respondents. This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in seizing the vehicle bearing No. AP 04 W 8879 under vehicle check report No.1947081, dated 09.06.2011, is arbitrary and illegal. The check report, dated 09.06.2011 shows that the vehicle was seized on various allegations. Since the enquiry is required to be conducted by the competent authority following due process of law, it is not necessary for this Court to express any opinion as to the correctness of the said allegations. However, pending such enquiry, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to release the vehicle in question subject to the condition that the petitioner deposits Rs.15,000/- apart from paying the taxes if any due. The petitioner shall also furnish an undertaking that he will not alienate and incorporate any third party interest over the vehicle in question till final orders are passed. It is also made clears that the amount deposited in pursuance of this order shall be subject to the outcome of the enquiry. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of leaving it open to the respondents to proceed with the enquiry in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ JUSTICE G. ROHINI Date:10-06-2011. Note: Communicate operative portion by wire at party’s cost. (B/o) YVL THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.
