TO JUDGE Rs/ ANTONY DOMINIC, J ----------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.12375/2007 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 13th day of August, 2008 JUDGMENT In this writ petition, what is sought for by the petitioner is a direction to the respondent to consider his application for transfer of registration in this favour in respect of the the vehicle(Maruti car) bearing registration No.TSR/2301. According to the petitioner, this vehicle was seized by the Excise Department, in connection with Crime No.132/2001 of Sulthanbatheri Police Station and was confiscated. Later it was sold in auction and was purchased by the petitioner. It is stated that, for that reason the direction in Ext.P4 requiring him to produce RC book issued to the previous owner is impracticable of compliance. I agree with this submission of the counsel for the petitioner. 2 Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the respondent shall take up, consider and pass orders on the application made by the petitioner, receipt of which is acknowledged in Ext.P3, at any rate within 6 weeks.
