Dated this the 5th day of October, 2009
JUDGMENT
A.K.Basheer, J.
Aggrieved by the interim order passed by the learned
Single Judge in W.P.(C) No.25666 of 2009 directing the
appellant/petitioner to furnish bank guarantee in a sum of
Rupees seven lakhs for release of his vehicle, the appellant has
preferred this writ appeal.
2. We have heard learned counsel for the appellant
and the learned Government Pleader who accepts notice for the
respondents.
3. Having regard to the peculiar facts and
circumstances of the case, we are of the view that the interim
order passed by the learned Single Judge has to be slightly
modified. We, therefore, direct that in modification of the
interim order passed by the learned Single Judge it shall be
W.A.No.2170 of 2009
– 2 –
sufficient if the appellant furnishes bank guarantee in a sum of
Rs.1,50,000/- (Rupees one lakh and fifty thousand) in lieu of
Rupees seven lakhs. In all other respects the interim order
passed by the learned Single Judge shall remain intact.
Writ appeal is disposed of in the above terms..
