IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR.

THE SUB DIVISIONAL MAGISTRATE KOLLAM. 3. THE SUB INSPECTOR OF POLICE, PARAVOR POLICE STATION. R1 TO R3 BY GOVT. PLEADER SRI. P. NARAYANAN. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/09/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: prv. ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.30097 of 2010 (J) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 30th day of September, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is the registered owner of vehicle bearing Registration No.KL-5 U 6645. In this writ petition, what he seeks is interim custody of the vehicle against which proceedings under the Kerala Protection of River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand Act, 2001 are pending. 2. From the pleadings in the writ petition, it is obvious that by Ext.P3 judgment dated 08/09/2010 in WP(C) No. 26657/2010 filed by the petitioner, this Court has already directed that orders shall be passed on the application filed by the petitioner for interim custody of his vehicle. However, the petitioner submits that since time limit is not prescribed in the said judgment, the respondents are not accepting even a copy of the judgment or passing orders. In my view, if this is factually correct, by their conduct, the respondents are at the teeth of Ext.P3 judgment. Irrespective of this, it is directed that the 2nd respondent will pass orders as WP(C) No.30097/2010 -2- directed in Ext.P3 judgment, which shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within ten days of production of a copy of this judgment. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
