           DATED THIS THE 30th DAY OF JULY, 2007

                               JUDGMENT

In these three writ petitions the vehicles belonging to the

petitioners were seized on allegations of illegal transport of river sand.

The petitioners complain that no final orders have been passed and

therefore, they seek interim custody of the vehicles.

Having heard both sides, I dispose of these writ petitions

directing the District Collector concerned to release the respective

vehicles of the petitioners, on the petitioners depositing an amount of

Rs.25,000/- each and furnishing proof of ownership of their vehicles.

This is subject to the further condition that the petitioners shall not

alienate or otherwise part with possession of the vehicles. The

collector shall pass final orders in the matter expeditiously.
