It is a well settled position that such a blanket order cannot be passed by this Court, restraining the respondents to follow the procedures established by law. It goes without saying that all authorities are expected to follow the procedures, as per law, in seizing the vehicles concerned. 4. As such, this Court does not find sufficient cause or reason to grant the relief, sought for by the petitioners, in the present writ petition. Hence, the writ petition stands dismissed. No costs. However, it would be open to the petitioners to approach the authorities concerned or to agitate the matter before the appropriate forum, if the vehicles in question are seized, without following the procedures established by law. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. Sd/ Asst.Registrar /true copy/ Sub Asst.Registrar csh To 1.The Director of Mines and Geology, Guindy, Chennai. 2.
