KL -11W/4960 and KL -11AB/1731. Proceedings have been initiated against the vehicles on the allegation that vehicles were involved in the unauthorized transportation of river sand. Final orders have not been passed. In the meanwhile, petitioners have made Exhibit P1 applications before the first respondent seeking interim custody of the vehicles. Orders have not been passed on those applications. It is with that grievance, these writ petitions have been filed. Taking into account the case of the petitioner that orders have not been passed on Exhibit P1 applications seeking interim custody of the vehicle, I direct the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Exhibit P1 applications, if those applications have already been received and are pending. Orders shall be passed as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE scm
