The vehicle can be used on the basis of temporary registration only for a limited time, that too, for a limited purpose. The petitioner ought not have used the vehicle for such a long time for transporting students. Even now, it can take steps to comply with the requirements. The detention of the vehicle with the office of the 2nd respondent serves no purpose. On the other hand, it would expose the vehicle for theft and damage. 4. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that the respondents shall release the vehicle on payment of Rs.10,000/-. The petitioner shall be entitled to use the vehicle only after its registration and after obtaining permit. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________________ L.
