JUDGMENT

It is submitted that the petitioner has a licence under the Kerala Money Lenders Act, 1958 and hence, in view of the Circular No.14/2011 dated 28.06.2011 issued by the Transport Commissioner, any hypothecation to be endorsed under Section 51 of the The Kerala Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, would be permissible in the case of the petitioner.

The writ petition stands disposed of.

Parties are left to suffer their respective costs.
