THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P. NAVEEN RAO WRIT PETITION No.46855 OF 2016 ORDER:

Heard. With the consent of learned counsel for the parties, this Writ Petition is being disposed of at the stage of admission. 2.

The petitioner - college alleges that on 11.07.2014, its vehicle bearing No.AP 24 V1459 was seized by the Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector, Ongole, Prakasam, the 3rd respondent, on the allegation that the vehicle was plying without records, there was no proof of registration and fitness certificates and permit was expired. The grievance of the petitioner is that though it submitted application, dated 23.09.2016, for release of the vehicle before the Deputy Transport Commissioner and Secretary, Regional Transport Authority, Prakasam District, the 2nd respondent, which was received by him on 03.12.2016, so far no action is taken by him. Hence, this writ petition.

3.

Since the application was received by the competent authority only on 03.12.2016, it cannot be said that the respondent authorities were not diligent in considering the representation of the petitioner and passing appropriate orders. It is not a case of deliberate inaction.

4.

The Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider the application of the petitioner, dated 23.09.2016, and pass appropriate orders thereon, as warranted by law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two

weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs.
