KRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.C. NO. 25184 OF 2006 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 18th day of March, 2009. J U D G M E N T This writ petition is filed with a prayer to direct the Special Judge (SPE/CBI)-I, Ernakulam to release the amount of Rs.3,39,700/- seized from the residence of the petitioner in R.C.8(A)/2005/KER of the Court of the Special Judge (SPE/CBI)-I, Ernakulam. An interim order was passed by this Court on 25.10.06 and this Court made an observation that, “I find that unless the petitioner at the final hearing of the writ petition could establish that the offences alleged will not lie against her, there cannot be an order directing to release the amount of Rs.3,39,700/- seized form the residence on executing indemnity bond or furnishing security.” So a reading of the order makes it clear that everything depends upon the final outcome of the case. I am informed that the steps are complete and the trial can be commenced W.P.C 25184 OF 2006 -:2:- in this case. Considering the fact that the amount is now locked and it cannot be used it is only desirable that a direction is given to the Special Judge (SPE/CBI)-I, Ernakulam to dispose of C.C.1/06 within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Registry is directed to send a copy of this order to the learned Judge for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
