J U D G M E N T
In this Writ Petition, the petitioner complains that his LMV
Open Tipper bearing Regn.No.KL-14E 3979 has been detained on
the allegation that the vehicle was used for transportation of river
sand in violation of the provisions contained in the Kerala
Protection of River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand Act,
2001. According to the petitioner, though he has made
application for interim custody of the vehicle, his application was
not considered. With this grievance, this Writ Petition has been
filed.
2. A Full Bench of this Court in Shan C.T. v. State of
Kerala [2010(3)KHC 333] has laid down the manner in which
such applications for interim custody should be dealt with.
Therefore, all that is necessary in this Writ Petition is to direct that
the statutory authority, before whom the application has been
made, shall deal with the application in the light of the provisions
of the Act referred above and in the manner as directed by the
Full Bench of this Court in the judgment referred as above.
WPC No. 30765/10
