THE SECRETARY, MAMPAD GRAMA PANCHAYATH, MAMPAD. 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. 3496 OF 2009 (N) ==================== 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.P3 order passed by the District Collector finding that the Mini Lorry bearing Regn.No.KL-10/T 2786 was engaged in the unauthorised transportation of river sand. A reading of the order shows that when the lorry was intercepted, the driver produced a pass which did not mention the departure timing. From this it was concluded by the District Collector that misusing the pass, several loads were transported. 2. On facts, I am not satisfied that any ground has been made out by the petitioner to infer that the aforesaid conclusion of the District Collector is erroneous. 3. Learned counsel complains that a copy of the mahazar was not given. But the impugned order does not show that the petitioner had raised such a complaint before the 1st respondent. 4. There is nothing disproportionate in the value of the vehicle that is fixed and ordered to be remitted towards the River Management Fund. I am not in a position to find any fault with the impugned order. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
