IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE M.VENKATESWARA REDDY WP No. 17646 of 2006 Between : T.Bhaskar Reddy .. Petitioner And The Regional Transport Authority/ Regional Transport Officer, Kurnool, Kurnool District And another .. Respondents Dated : 11th September, 2006 ORAL ORDER : (per JC,J) Writ Petition is filed with the prayer as follows : “For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, it is prayed that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue a Writ or Order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of mandamus declaring that the action of the respondents in issuing the Vehicle Check Report No. 0260118 dated 20.7.2006 and in not handover the original documents of the vehicles bearing Nos. AP 05 TV 3095 and AP 05 TV 3096 which were seized on 20.7.2006 of the petitioner are illegal and unconstitutional, and consequently direct the respondents not to seize the vehicles of the petitioner and to hand over the original documents of the above said vehicles of the petitioner and pass such other order or orders as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper.” The petitioner claims to have purchased 2 vehicles viz., Chevrolet Travera bearing registration numbers indicated in the prayer. Admittedly, the petitioner intends to use them as commercial vehicles and he claims to have obtained necessary permits under the A.P. Motor Vehicles Act for running those vehicles with an All India Tourist Permit. On 20.7.2006, when those vehicles were coming from Kurnool to Kakinada, the 2nd respondent stopped the vehicles and checked them and issued a check memo indicating that the life tax is not paid on the vehicles. He seized certain documents pertaining to the vehicles of the petitioner. Hence the present writ petition. Admittedly, the life tax is not paid on these vehicles and such a tax is due under the amended A.P. Motor Vehicles Taxation Act. In the circumstances, we do not see any cause of action for the present writ petition and the same is therefore dismissed. _____________________ (J.CHELAMESWAR, J) ___________________________ (M.VENKATESWARA REDDY,J) 11th September, 2006.
