JUDGMENT

The petitioner's vehicle bearing Registration No.KL-58-F7170, has been seized alleging violation of Kerala Protection of River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand Act. The petitioner approached this Court seeking a release of the vehicle.

2. The petitioner has already approached the Additional Chief Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Thalassery as per Ext.P3 ordered to release of the vehicle on deposit of 30% of the value. Therefore, I do not find any reason to interfere with that order.

3. However, the second respondent shall complete the proceedings for confiscation within a period of two months

W.P.(C).No. 38772 of 2015 -2from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after hearing the petitioner.
