machines have been released. His two Hywa Tippers (truck mounted containers) are seized by the Tahsildar.

¶18

On instructions, the Petitioner agrees to deposit Rs.1,00,000/- with reference to each of these two vehicles, before the Tahsildar. If a final order on the show cause notice is not passed, he would appear before the Tahsildar and submit his reply along with an application for releasing of the two vehicles with Demand Drafts of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh) each. If a final order has already been passed by the Tahsildar, he would approach the Appellate Authority by preferring an Appeal along with an application for releasing the two vehicles with Demand Drafts of Rs.1,00,000/(Rupees One Lakh) each.

¶19

If the Petitioner places before the Tahsildar or the Appellate Authority, as the case may be, the Demand Drafts of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh) each, the said authority would pass appropriate orders for releasing the said vehicles by imposing certain conditions as may be prescribed in law. The proceedings thereafter would be decided on their own merits.
