It is stated that on the allegation that the petitioner has used the vehicle in violation of the provisions contained in Act 28 of 2008, the vehicle was seized on 19/2/2011 and that proceedings are pending before the 2nd respondent. According to the petitioner, pursuant to Ext.P1 notice, though he was heard in the matter, due to the elections to the State legislature, the matter was postponed. It is stated that so far orders have not been passed in the matter and therefore the writ petition has been filed for a direction to release the vehicle and also to pass final orders in the matter. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also in the matter. 3. If as stated by the petitioner, pursuant to Ext.P1 notice, petitioner was already heard in April 2011, there is absolutely no justification for delaying final orders in the matter. 4. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing that WPC No. 17057/11 :2 : the 2nd respondent shall, within 2 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition pass final orders in respect of the proceedings in relation to lorry bearing Regn.No.KL-29A/5652.
