P4 notice of detention is under challenge. It shows that a consignment which was despatched by the petitioner to I.T.I., Palakkad, a Government of India undertaking, has been detained on the ground that there was over-writing in the delivery note. Petitioner submits that in response to Ext. P4, documents have been produced explaining the irregularity noticed. Having regard to the nature of the irregularities noticed, I feel, this matter needs to be adjudicated. However, taking into account the fact that the petitioner is a registered dealer and that the consignment in question was despatched to a Govt. of India organisation, I feel that the goods shall be released to the petitioner pending enquiry into the irregularities. Accordingly, I direct that the goods detained as per Ext. P4, be released to the petitioner along with the vehicle on condition that the petitioner executes a bond without sureties. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
