R1 BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.K.C.SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: sts C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.32019 of 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated 4th November, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner who is the registered owner of a goods carriage vehicle bearing registration No.KL 43 8293 filed this writ petition with a prayer to issue a writ of mandamus commanding the respondent to consider the objections raised by the petitioner before issuing fresh registration certificate in respect of the aforesaid vehicle in favour of the finance company. When the matter was taken up today, the learned Government Pleader, upon instructions, submitted that the financier of the said vehicle has not so far approached the authority with the prayer to issue a fresh registration certificate as alleged by the petitioner. This is recorded. The petitioner cannot seek for a writ of mandamus merely based on an apprehension. The submission made on behalf of the respondent would reveal that this writ petition has been filed only based on an apprehension which has no basis. Accordingly, recording the above submission, this writ petition is closed. C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge TKS
