JUDGMENT

The vehicles owned by the petitioners herein bearing Registration Nos.KL-31-E-5481, KL-31-D-6264, KL-31-E-6336 and KL-31-D-9369 were seized by the first respondent by Ext.P1 seizure mahazar. The petitioners only contend that the same have been seized for alleged commission of offence under the Kerala Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 2015. The prayer of the petitioners is only for production of the same before the Jurisdictional Magistrate, so as to enable them to seek for interim custody of the vehicles.

2. In such circumstances, the first respondent shall produce the vehicles seized as per Ext.P1 before the Jurisdictional Magistrate within a period of two weeks from date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.

The writ petition hence would stand disposed of. Sd/- K. VINOD CHANDRAN, JUDGE sp
