Earlier, the petitioner had filed OS No.250/2006 against the second respondent for permanent prohibitory injunction restraining the second respondent for transfer of permit mentioned in Ext.P1 and the same was decreed as is obvious from Ext.P4. The contention of the petitioner is that the second respondent is now defunct and the petitioner is yet to get a sum of Rs.16,980/- with interest @ 6% per annum from the second respondent after clearing off the entire loan arrears. At any rate, according to the petitioner in the light of Ext.P4 there is no reason for the delay in taking appropriate action on the application submitted by the petitioner for cancellation of hypothecation endorsement in relation to the aforesaid vehicle in the light of Ext.P4. WPC.30369/2010 : 2 : 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader. 3. In the light of Ext.P4 the respondents are bound to take action as requested by the petitioner for cancellation of hypothecation endorsement in relation to vehicle No.KL-07- AK-6879. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to take appropriate action on the application submitted by the petitioner for cancellation of hypothecation endorsement in relation to the vehicle No.KL- 07-AK-6879 in the light of Ext.P4, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment with notice to the second respondent.
