The petitioner’s request for release of the said vehicle was rejected on the ground that it was found to be used for carrying 58 kgs of Raw Chloral Hydrate, which is intended for adulteration of toddy, and that the same is injurious to health. Having considered the submissions of the learned Counsel for the parties and perused the record, I am of the view that interest of justice would be met if the said vehicle is released to the petitioner subject to his furnishing bank guarantee for its value as ascertained by the Motor Vehicle Inspector concerned. Respondent No.2 shall obtain the valuation report from the Motor Vehicle Inspector concerned and release the vehicle to the petitioner within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, on the petitioner furnishing bank guarantee for its value as determined by the Motor Vehicle Inspector. The release of vehicle shall, however, be subject to the result of the enquiry pending before respondent No.2. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.13692 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 02-05-2008 LUR
