The petitioner shall file an undertaking before the second respondent that the vehicle shall not, hereafter, be plied within the municipal limits of Gr. Mumbai. The second respondent shall subject to compliance with the aforesaid conditions release the vehicle only for one journey within the municipal limits of Gr. Mumbai so as to enable the petitioner to take the vehicle outside the municipal limits." 3.
