GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/02/2009,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 3470 OF 2009 (K) ==================== Dated this the 3rd day of February, 2009 J U D G M E N T The challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P2, by which it is found that the lorry bearing Regn.No.KL.10/D 8046 was engaged in the unauthorised transportation of river sand. On that basis, petitioner has been called upon to remit an amount of Rs.50,000/- towards the River Management Fund. 2. Although it is the contention of the counsel for the petitioner that the transportation was on the strength of Ext.P1 pass issued by the Panchayat, a reading of Ext.P2 shows that on seeing the police, the driver stopped the vehicle and fled from the scene. This necessarily leads to an inference that the transportation was not a legitimate one. If that be so, the conclusion in Ext.P2 deserves to be upheld and I do so. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
