(C) NO. 22871 OF 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of September, 2010. JUDGMENT The 2nd respondent is the registered owner of the light motor vehicle bearing registration No.KL-55-2306. The contention of the petitioner is that petitioner purchased the vehicle from 2nd respondent and subsequently, along with necessary applications in Form 29 and Form 30 viz., Exts.P2 and P3 and Ext.P4 No objection certificate issued by the financier he applied for transfer of ownership. It is the delay in the matter of disposal of the application for transfer of ownership in his name that constrained the petitioner to approach this Court by filing this writ petition. 2. The 2nd respondent has filed a counter affidavit in this writ petition. According to the 2nd respondent he had not sold the vehicle to the petitioner and Ext.P2 to P4 are forged and fabricated documents. It is his assertion that he had not signed in Ext.P2 and P3. In view of the said disputatious facts and considering the fact that both the parties have already approached the first respondent. I am inclined to dispose of this writ petition as hereunder:- W.P. (C) NO. 22871 OF 2010 2 The first respondent shall consider and pass orders on the application submitted by the petitioner for transfer of ownership along with the documents after affording opportunities of being heard to the petitioner and the 2nd respondent. It shall be done expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE. mns
