                Dated this the 23rd day of May, 2008

                           JUDGMENT

The petitioner seeks release of his vehicle, which has been

seized on allegation of illegal transportation of river sand. I am

of opinion that when the vehicle of the petitioner is seized, the 2nd

respondent has got a duty to pass final orders in the matter

under the Kerala Protection of River Banks and Regulation of

Removal of Sand Act, 2002 expeditiously. Therefore, this writ

petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to

pass final orders in the matter within a period of ten days from

the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
