Petitioner's vehicle bearing Reg. No. KL-20-8326 has been seized alleging violation of the provisions of the Kerala Protection of River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand Act, 2001. Petitioner had submitted Ext.P2 application before the 2nd respondent for sending the sample of the said commodity seized for analysis as the petitioner has a contention that the same is not river sand. Having regard to these factual situations, I am of the view that the writ petition can be disposed of as follows:
2nd respondent shall consider Ext.P2 and pass appropriate orders within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
