However, I am inclined to agree with the counsel for the petitioner who submits that no useful purpose will be served from anybody's point of view by allowing the vehicle and load to remain in the premises of the 4th respondent. Under these circumstances, there will be an interim order in the following terms: The petitioner will file an affidavit before the 2nd respondent undertaking to produce the lorry having registration No.KEZ 3510 in good running condition as and when directed in that regard by the 2nd respondent or any other competent authority. The petitioner will remit Rs.10,000/- by cash with the 3rd respondent. The 4th respondent, upon receiving a copy of the affidavit and the original of the cash receipt as directed above, will release the lorry together with load to the petitioner. It is WPC No.6815/2007 2 made clear that release of the lorry and load as directed above will be subject to the outcome of the adjudication proceedings which would be completed by the 2nd respondent at his earliest and at any rate within four months of receiving a copy of this judgment.
