JUDGMENT

The petitioner seeks an instalment facility as against the confiscation order passed, produced at Ext.P3. If at all the petitioner approaches the authority with an application, the authority could definitely consider whether the value of the vehicle could be determined and the petitioner could be permitted to pay such value and then take back the vehicle. That would in fact save trouble to the State in making a public auction. If the petitioner does not approach the authority within one month, the authority would be entitled to dispose of the vehicle in accordance with law.

The writ petition is disposed of.
