Ext.P1 order passed by the 1st respondent as early on
16.12.2009 finalising the proceedings in respect of the seizure of
the vehicle bearing Reg.No.KL-13 P 823 effected on 3.10.09
under the relevant provisions of the Kerala Protection of River
Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand Act, 2001 / Kerala
Protection of River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand
Rules, 2002 is under challenge.
2. No reason, much less any legally sustainable one has
been pointed out with regard to the inordinate delay in
challenging Ext.P1. It appears that the petitioner was simply
sleeping over the issue and woke up from the deep slumber on
some revelation.

3. In the said circumstances, this Court does not find it
fit or proper to invoke the discretionary jurisdiction under Article

accordingly.
