4.It is seen from the copy of the report filed by the second respondent that the appellant has owned a mini bus bearing Registration No.TN-74-F 8636 and operating the bus in the Kanyakumari District plying through the approved route of CB Hospital to Melakaruppukottai in Kanyakumari District which is the approved route for the said mini bus. However, on 06.08.2014 at about 8.45 a.m, the driver of the mini bus had driven the vehicle inside the Vadasery bus stand which is an unauthorised route for the said mini bus bearing Registration No.TN-74-F 8636. Due to the violation of the permitted route, spot fine of Rs.2,500/- was imposed, however, the fine amount was not paid and the relevant document was also not produced before the authority. Since the required documents were not available with the driver of the vehicle and fine amount was not paid, the said mini bus was seized by the second respondent under Sections 206 and 207 of the Motor Vehicles Act. Subsequently, notice was issued to produce necessary documents and to pay spot fine amount of Rs.2,500/-. However, the appellant did not produce relevant documents relating to the vehicle and also failed to pay the fine amount of Rs.2,500/-.
