According to the petitioner, the default was committed by the hirer and he did not even obtain permanent registration of the vehicle. Therefore, the vehicle was repossessed by the petitioner. Petitioner submitted an application to the 1st respondent for the details of the temporary registration of the vehicle in question. By Ext.P2, they have been informed that the details are not available at present as connected records could not be retrieved even after an intensive search. It is on receipt of Ext.P2, this writ petition has been filed praying for directing the issue of a temporary registration and to give a permanent registration to the vehicle covered by Ext.P1. 2. As at present, the request of the petitioner to the authorities was to issue the details of the temporary registration of the vehicle mentioned in Ext.P2. A reading of Ext.P2 shows that the said communication is only a reply pending retrieval of the records relating to the vehicle. Therefore, at present there is no circumstance justifying the WPC 18173/08 :2 : direction sought for by the petitioner for issuing permanent registration. 3. Therefore, the writ petition will stand disposed of directing that the particulars of the temporary registration sought for by the petitioner will be searched out and furnished to the petitioner, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
