    Case Summary: WPA/292/2026 The High Court at Calcutta (Port Blair Bench) allowed the petitioner P. Kannan's writ petition against forest authorities who had seized his dinghy for carrying banned timber. After the petitioner paid the assessed fine of Rs. 50, the authorities unreasonably withheld the vessel despite repeated representations. The court directed the respondent authorities to consider the petitioner's April 16, 2026 representation and release the dinghy by July 10, 2026, finding the continued seizure unjustified after payment was made.
