As per the latest orderdt. 7th February 2019 in the matter bearing Writ Petition No. 2361 of 2019, the High Court of Telangana and Hyderabad disregarded the submissions of the Government Pleader which stated that the vehicle was seized on 8.12.2018 as the driver was not in a position to drive the vehicle as he was drunk. The High Court Single Bench headed by Justice M.S. Ramachandra Rao disposed of the Writ Petition by holding that:“Even if the driver on that particular day was unable to drive the vehicle, that does not mean that the respondents can retain the vehicle.”
In furtherance to the same, the Petitioner was directed to appear before the jurisdictional transport authority with RC Book relating the said vehicle and also producing ID proof, and upon these necessary proofs, the concerned official who holds custody of the vehicle in question, shall release the said vehicle to the Petitioner, forthwith.
