IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANTONY DOMINIC WEDNESDAY, THE 23RD JANUARY 2008 / 3RD MAGHA 1929 WP(C).No. 17894 of 2005(E) -------------------------- PETITIONER: ------------ JOHNCY THOMAS, AGED 30 YEARS, S/O.C.C.THOMAS, CHAMPANNOOR, NEDUMKUNNAM P.O., KOTTAYAM DISTRICT. BY ADV. SRI.T.M.ABDUL LATHEEF RESPONDENTS: ------------- 1. DISTRICT COLLECTOR, PATHANAMTHAITTA. 2. SUB INSPECTOR OF POLICE, KEZHVAIPUR. R1 & R2 BY GOVT. PLEADER SRI.I.V.PRAMOD. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------------- W.P(C) Nos. 17894 OF 2005 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT The prayer sought for in this Writ Petition is for a direction to the respondent to release the petitioner's the lorry having registration No.KL-03/A-6665. The facts of the case show that the lorry in question was seized on the allegation of having engaged in the unauthorized transportation of river sand. For this very relief the petitioner had approached this Court by filing WPC 32753/04. That Writ Petition was disposed of by Ext.P2 judgment dt.15.11.04, directing completion of the adjudication proceedings. Therefore, a second writ petition for the same relief is not permissible. Even otherwise, if the complaint of the petitioner is that the direction for adjudication as directed in Ext.P2 has not been complied with, the remedy available to the petitioner is also not a second writ petition. In my view this writ petition is misconceived and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE btt WPC No. 2 WPC No. 3
