This petition is pending from 1984. This petition pertains to seizure of documents by police belonging to the petitioner and the main relief claimed by him in 1984 was return of the documents seized. It appears that on the basis of the documents, a charge sheet was filed against the petitioner under Sections 5, 6, 10 and 11 of Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act read with Section 406 of IPC. The learned counsel for the petitioner has produced a copy of the judgment of the trial :2: court, before us, passed on 10.1.1997. By this judgment, the accused - petitioner has been acquitted in the case and the trial court has ordered, seized documents be returned to the person from whom they were seized. Since the documents appear to have been seized in connection with a crime and case has already ended in acquittal and the trial court has ordered return of the documents. We do not think that it will be necessary for us to keep this file on board any longer as the relief claimed in this writ petition by the petitioner has already been given to him by the criminal court. It is also submitted for the petitioner that inspite of the order having been passed by the criminal court, 11 years before, documents have not been still returned. Therefore, we direct the respondents to return the seized documents as directed by the trial court within a period of four weeks from today. Petition stands disposed of accordingly. (BILAL NAZKI, J.)
