P2 notice issued under Section 47 of the Kerala Value Added Tax Act, pursuant to detention of the vehicle. 2. At the time of admission, this Court passed the following interim order: “There will be an interim order directing release of the goods detained on condition that the petitioner remits Rs. 15,000/- in cash to the 1st respondent and execute a bond without sureties. Needles to say that, on compliance with these conditions, the goods will be released.” That being so, what needs to be done now is to direct the authority competent to do so to complete the proceedings under Ext. P2 expeditiously. There would be a direction to that effect. Till orders are thus passed pursuant to Ext. P2, the interim order would continue to be in force. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/-S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
