Transport detention without basis fails when required documents are available at interception, and the notice is quashed.

Detention notice and detention order were held unsustainable where the transportation documents were available at the time of interception. On the materials produced, the detention was found to have been made for extraneous reasons, so the writ petition under Article 226 was allowed and the impugned notice and order were quashed and set aside, with consequential relief directed to follow forthwith.

Issues: Whether the detention notice and detention order could be sustained when the documents required for transportation were available at the time of interception.

Analysis: The writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India was allowed on the finding that the transportation documents were available when the vehicle was detained. On the materials produced, the detention was found to have been made for extraneous reasons and was therefore not sustainable.

Conclusion: The impugned notice and the impugned order were quashed and set aside, with consequential relief to follow forthwith.
