IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANTONY DOMINIC THURSDAY, THE 4TH SEPTEMBER 2008 / 13TH BHADRA 1930 WP(C).No. 26065 of 2008(C) -------------------------- PETITIONER: ------------ P.ABDUL LATHEEF, HARSHIN ENTERPRISES, POONTHALA BUILDING, PAN BAZAR, TIRUR, MALAPPURAM DISTRICT. BY ADV. SRI.N.MURALEEDHARAN NAIR SRI.V.K.SHAMUSUDHEEN RESPONDENT: ------------- COMMERCIAL TAX INSPECTOR, COMMERCIAL TAX CHECK POST, WALAYAR. BY GOVT. PLEADER SRI C.K.GOVINDAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) 26065 of 2008 -------------------------------------------------------- Dated: SEPTEMBER 4, 2008 JUDGMENT Detention of a consignment as per Ext.P3 is challenged in this writ petition. The allegation is that the TIN number noted in the document is a bogus one. But the fact remains that all other particulars declared by the petitioner are factually correct. It is also seen from Ext.P9 certificate that the petitioner has got registration and that he has no arrears of tax to be paid. In that circumstances the explanation of the petitioner that the mistake in TIN number was inadvertently committed by the consignor, is a matter which needs to be enquired into. 2. Having regard to the fact that the petitioner is a registered dealer and taking note of Ext.P9, I am inclined to direct that the goods detained as per Ext.P3 will be released to the petitioner on his executing a bond without sureties. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
