No.34007 of 2008 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 4th day of February, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a financier of vehicles. According to the petitioner, the 2nd respondent had purchased a mini lorry by availing of its financial assistance. He had obtained a temporary registration, but not permanent registration. Default was committed by the 2nd respondent and the vehicle was repossessed. 2. After repossession of the vehicle, the petitioner applied for getting the vehicle registered. According to the petitioner, that was not allowed for the reason that the original documents were not produced by the petitioner. The petitioner contends that if production of original documents is insisted, it will not be possible to get the vehicle registered, as satisfaction of the said condition is beyond its capacity. He has referred to Ext.P2 judgment, where an identical claim has been dealt with by this Court. 3. Taking into account, the facts as stated above, this writ petition is disposed of directing that the 1st respondent shall examine the claim of the petitioner, on the petitioner producing WP(C) No.34007/2008 -2- duplicate copies of the records, in which case, if the documents are found to be genuine, registration will be granted on condition that the petitioner complies with all other conditions specified in that behalf. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
