STATE OF U.P. . vs MODERN TRANSPORT COMPANY,LUDHIANA . — C.A. No. 187/2002

Summary: C.A. No. 187/2002 (State of U.P. v. Modern Transport Company) The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's November 17, 2000 order that directed release of a seized truck and goods without providing reasons or hearing the State's counsel. The Court criticized the High Court for passing an interim order that effectively allowed the writ petition without reasoned justification. However, since the goods had already been released, the Court found the writ petition infructuous and disposed the appeal, allowing State of U.P. to proceed in accordance with law.
