He has approached the District<\/p>\n<p>Collector, the 1st respondent for release of the vehicle<\/p>\n<p>and is aggrieved by the non-consideration of his request<\/p>\n<p>as such.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_1\">     2.    The nature of the power exercised by the<\/p>\n<p>District Collector and the para meters within which such<\/p>\n<p>power is to be exercised have been dealt with by a Bench<\/p>\n<p>of this Court in Sanjayan Vs.Tahasildar [2007 (4) KLT<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">597). Principles have been reiterated in Subramanian<\/p>\n<p>Vs. State of Kerala [2009 (1) KLT 77).\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">     3.     In Subramanian&#8217;s case, this Court observed<\/p>\n<p>that   the power exercised by the District Collector is<\/p>\n<p>W.P ( C) No.18585 of 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">                                 2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>under Section 23 of the Kerala Protection of River Banks<\/p>\n<p>(Protection and Regulation of removal of sand) Act, 2002.<\/p>\n<p>It is also, therefore, quasi judicial in character. Reasons<\/p>\n<p>will have to be given by the District Collector       while<\/p>\n<p>passing orders under Section 23 of the Kerala Protection<\/p>\n<p>of River Banks (Protection and Regulation of removal of<\/p>\n<p>sand) Act, 2002 r\/w Rules 27 and 28 of Kerala Protection of<\/p>\n<p>River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand Rules<\/p>\n<p>2002. If there is a contention that the transportation of<\/p>\n<p>sand was supported by a pass issued by the competent<\/p>\n<p>local authority, that has to be referred.     The materials<\/p>\n<p>which are placed before      the District Collector by the<\/p>\n<p>subordinate officials shall also be looked into.   This has<\/p>\n<p>been indicated in Subramanian&#8217;s case. If motion is made<\/p>\n<p>by the owner of the vehicle for release of the vehicle on<\/p>\n<p>interim custody, it will be subject to the conditions<\/p>\n<p>mentioned in paragraph 58 of the said judgment.        The<\/p>\n<p>District Collector may pass orders on such applications on<\/p>\n<p>interim custody. (The scope of the directions contained in<\/p>\n<p>Subramanian&#8217;s case have later been dealt with in Sareesh<\/p>\n<p>W.P ( C) No.18585 of 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">                                3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Vs. District Collector [2009(2) KLT 906].       Appropriate<\/p>\n<p>clarifications have been issued in the latter case). Further<\/p>\n<p>conditions can be imposed in the course of release of the<\/p>\n<p>vehicle    as indicated by this Court in Shoukathali Vs.<\/p>\n<p>Tahasildar [2009 (1) KLT 640].\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">      4.    Keeping in mind the observations made in the<\/p>\n<p>judgments in Shoukathali&#8217;s case and Subramanian&#8217;s case<\/p>\n<p>and Sareesh&#8217;s case which have been referred to, the 1st<\/p>\n<p>respondent shall pass final orders in the matter of<\/p>\n<p>confiscation\/release of the vehicle in question after<\/p>\n<p>conducting an appropriate enquiry as early as possible, at<\/p>\n<p>any rate within three months from the date of receipt of a<\/p>\n<p>copy of this judgment.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">      5.    In the meanwhile, if motion     is made by the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner for interim custody of the vehicle bearing Reg.<\/p>\n<p>KL-10 7775 then orders shall be passed by the District<\/p>\n<p>Collector on the application for    interim custody of the<\/p>\n<p>vehicle after notice to the registered owner and after<\/p>\n<p>hearing him, within four weeks from the date of receipt of a<\/p>\n<p>copy of this judgment in the light of the observations<\/p>\n<p>W.P ( C) No.18585 of 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_2\">                                 4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>contained in Shoukathali Vs.

I make it clear that I have not considered the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner&#8217;s contentions on merits. It is up to the District<\/p>\n<p>Collector to consider whether the vehicle is to be released<\/p>\n<p>on interim custody or not.     It is also up to the District<\/p>\n<p>Collector to consider, in accordance with law, the question<\/p>\n<p>as to whether the vehicle has been used in a manner as to<\/p>\n<p>contravene the provisions of the Act and the Rules framed<\/p>\n<p>thereunder and as to whether the vehicle is liable for<\/p>\n<p>confiscation and pass final orders on that basis.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_7\">      The writ petition is disposed of as above.       The<\/p>\n<p>petitioner shall produce copies of the judgment in<\/p>\n<p>Subramanian, Shoukathali and Sareesh along with the<\/p>\n<p>certified copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent,<\/p>\n<p>for compliance.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\">\n<p id=\"p_9\">                                         (V.GIRI,JUDGE)<br \/>\nma<\/p>\n<p>W.P ( C) No.18585 of 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_3\">                             5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>W.P ( C) No.18585 of 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_4\">                             6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                           (V.GIRI,JUDGE)<br \/>\nma<\/p>\n<p>W.P ( C) No.18585 of 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_5\">                             7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>W.P ( C) No.18585 of 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_6\">                             8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                           (V.GIRI,JUDGE)<br \/>\nma<\/p>\n<p>W.P ( C) No.18585 of 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_7\">                             9<\/span><\/p>\n<p>W.P ( C) No.18585 of 2009<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_8\">                             10<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Aneesudheen vs The District Collector on 3 July, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 18585 of 2009(P) 1.
