SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.16498 OF 2010 ------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of JUNE, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner's gas cylinders were stolen. Ext.P1 complaint was filed before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-I, Aluva which is pending. Ext.P2 is the list of articles lost. The petitioner wanted issue of new gas cylinders in the place of the stolen ones. He submitted Ext.P3 application and Ext.P4 indemnity bond before the first respondent for the purpose. The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that the new cylinders are not being issued to the petitioner. 2. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the first respondent also. The learned Standing Counsel points out that Ext.P7 certificate is dated 18.7.2010 and therefore, the same cannot be acted upon. Obviously, the same is a mistake. However, the petitioner shall get the same corrected appropriately and produce the same before the appropriate authority. On receipt of the same, the first W.P.(c)No.16498/10 2 respondent shall issue new gas cylinders to the petitioner within two weeks therefrom. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE acd W.P.(c)No.16498/10 3
