ORDER:

Heard.

2. Petitioner-College's vehicle bearing No.AP 25U 5246 is stated to have been seized on 05.11.2013 by Motor Vehicle Inspector, Jagtial on the ground that none of the documents were produced along with the vehicle. It is stated that an application for release was made by one of the Director of the petitioner-College on 06.11.2013 by approaching respondent No.2, but no orders are passed thereon till date. Reliance is also placed upon order of this court in W.P.No.39507 of 2014 dated 24.12.2014.

3. Learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that no such

application is received by respondent No.2 and if the petitioner-College makes an appropriate application, necessary action will be taken on the said application without further loss of time.

4. Hence, the petitioner is permitted to make appropriate application to respondent No.2 seeking release of the vehicle. Respondent No.2 is directed to act on the said application and pass appropriate orders not later than three days from the date of receipt of application. Respondent No.2 shall also keep in mind that the enquiry is required to be conducted with regard to the deficiencies pointed out. However, for the present, by imposing appropriate conditions, the vehicle is required to be released as it was seized as early as 05.11.2013, as no purpose is served by retaining the vehicle. Respondent No.2 is at liberty to collect the admitted tax and compounding fee, conduct an appropriate enquiry and pass appropriate orders and impose such further conditions as he deems appropriate.

With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
