    Case Summary: WP 15376/2026 The High Court of Andhra Pradesh granted the petitioners' writ petition challenging the seizure of their four tipper lorries by police for transporting black soil without valid transit permits. The court ruled that while mining authorities may levy penalties and seigniorage fees under the A.P. Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 1966, the vehicles cannot be indefinitely detained. The court directed the District Mines and Geology Officer to collect due penalties, and upon payment and submission of ownership documents, ordered police to release the vehicles.
