The writ petition was filed seeking a direction to the respondents to release the rifle of the petitioner, seized and kept in Town Thana, Muzaffarpur. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents enclosing a copy of the receipt dated 10.10.2011 issued by the petitioner, Ravi Shankar Tiwary acknowledging the receipt of the rifle in question and which brings to an end, the grievance raised by the petitioner.
