Goods were detained citing some reasons. 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader. 3. I am not inclined to order unconditional release of the goods. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the goods may be released on furnishing bank guarantee for the amount shown in Ext.P5. I feel that that is a reasonable request and the same can be granted. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to release the goods covered by Ext.P5 upon the petitioner furnishing bank guarantee for the sum demanded in Ext.P5. The adjudication process will be concluded as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within two months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. If the petitioner makes a request before the respondent within one week from today for the transfer of the files to the adjudicating officer WPC.21411/2008. 2 having jurisdiction in Ernakulam, that request will also be considered and decision taken on the same in accordance with law.
