THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/05/2011,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: rs V.K.MOHANAN,J. ----------------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No. 13052 of 2011 ---------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of May,2011 J U D G M E N T Challenging Ext.P3 notice issued by the Sub Inspector of Police, Udayamperoor by which the petitioner is directed to produce the vehicle bearing registration No.KL36A-4 within three days from the date of receipt of the notice, the petitioner has preferred this writ petition. Counsel for the petitioner submitted that if the vehicle is produced as directed as per Ext.P3, the respondents would damage the vehicle and it will not be released. 2. I find no reason for the apprehension expressed by the counsel for the petitioner. The offences alleged are under Section 279 IPC and Section 132 read with section 179 of the Motor Vehicles Act. Therefore, it is for the petitioner to comply with the direction issued as per Ext.P3. The further grievance of the petitioner is that the time fixed as per Ext.P3 has already expired and therefore, the time may be extended. W.P(C)NO.13052 of 2011 :-2-: 3. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that the said submission can be considered positively and the petitioner can be given sufficient time to produce the vehicle. In the result, this writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioner to produce the vehicle in terms of Ext.P3 within two weeks from today and the petitioner is directed to produce a copy of this judgment before the Sub Inspector of Police, Udayamperoor when he produces the vehicle. I am sure that unless the custody of the vehicle is required, the Police will release the vehicle. V.K.MOHANAN, Judge. MBS/ W.P(C)NO.13052 of 2011 :-3-:
