CASE HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 24/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: R. BASANT, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Crl.M.C.No. 4340 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 24th day of November, 2008 O R D E R The second respondent is personally present. I fail to understand why he should have been asked to appear before this Court. The very specific direction issued on 13.11.2008 is that if orders are not complied with and there is no order of the superior court justifying non-compliance, he should appear in person and file a statement. 2. The learned Prosecutor reports and copy of the order dt.19.11.2008 in Crl.M.P.3018 of 2008 in Crl.R.P.108 of 2008 is placed before Court to confirm that the Court of Sessions has stayed the impugned order. The respondents are hence justified in not releasing the vehicle. I am, in these circumstances, satisfied that this Crl.M.C. can be closed. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner accepts that he shall take necessary steps to get the stay vacated and claim release of the vehicle. Needless to say, in the nature of the Crl.M.C.No. 4340 of 2008 2 dispute, the learned Sessions Judge must make every endeavour to dispose of the revision as expeditiously as possible. 4. This Crl.M.C. is closed with the above observations. (R. BASANT) Judge tm
