The petitioner, who claimed to have purchased the said vehicle from its registered owner, filed an application on 06.03.2010 before respondent No.1 for its release. The grievance of the petitioner is that no order has been passed so far on his application. At the hearing, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Prohibition & Excise submitted that the petitioner is not the registered owner and that the registration has not been transferred in favour of the petitioner as yet. Even according to the petitioner, he is not the registered owner and the registered owner has not jointed the petitioner in filing this writ petition. The learned counsel for the petitioner, however, submitted that a joint application was made along with the registered owner before respondent No.1 for release of the seized vehicle. Inasmuch as the petitioner’s application for release of the vehicle is pending before respondent No.1, he is directed to dispose of the said application, in accordance with law, within a period of one (1) week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.9051 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
