HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH *** CWP No. 46 of 2009 Date of decision: 12.01.2009 *** M/S Raghu Exports Versus Union of India and another. *** CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice T.S.Thakur, CJ and Hon'ble Mr. Justice K.Kannan. *** Present: Shri Jagmohan Bansal, Advocate, for the petitioner. *** T.S.Thakur CJ (Oral) Issue notice of motion. Mr. Sanjeev Kaushik, Standing Counsel for Union of India appears on behalf of the respondents. With consent the petition has been heard for final disposal. The petitioners' grievance in the present writ petition is that despite a request made as early as on December 04, 2008 in terms of Annexure P-4, seeking release of the original shipping bills sezied from the petitioner during the course of a search conducted on 17/18.12.2007, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, has not considered the request nor passed any orders on the subject. A mandamus directing the respondents to return the documents in question has, therefore, been prayed for. Mr. Kaushik, appearing for the respondents states that given two weeks time, the competent authority would examine the request made by the petitioner in terms of Annexure P-4, and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law under intimation to the petitioner. In the circumstances, therefore, we consider it unnecessary to keep this petition on our board. The same is disposed of with a direction to the competent authority to examine the request made by the petitioner -2- CWP 46 of 2009. for return of the documents sezied from it and to pass appropriate orders on the same under intimation to the petitioner, expeditiously but not later than four weeks from today.The petitioner shall have the liberty to seek appropriate redress in accordance with law in case the request made by it is declined by the concerned authority. No costs. (T.S.Thakur) Chief Justice (K.Kannan) Judge January 12, 2009 Malik
