JUDGMENT The prayer sought for in this writ petition is to direct the respondents to return the cassettes seized as per Ext.P3, without in any manner tampering the same. The fact that the cassettes were seized by the Tour Manager of M/s. Travel Times (India) Pvt. Ltd is admitted by the respondent in the counter affidavit filed by them. It is also stated that the said action was necessitated on account of Ext.R1(a) complaint made by some other passengers. It is stated that cassettes were received by them only on 10.2.2009. 2. In paragraph 8 of the counter affidavit it has been stated thus. “The respondents have no objection in returning the cassettes to the petitioner, after ascertaining that it does not contain anything objectionable to the passengers in question. WP(c).No.3625/09 /2/ The verification can be doe in the presence of the IRCTS, petitioner and the representatives of the passengers and Tour operator, as directed by this Hon'ble Court.” Now that the respondents have agreed to return the cassettes after verification, in the manner as stated in paragraph 8 of the counter affidavit, I direct that the petitioner shall appear before the Regional Manager of IRCTC Ernakulam on 25th February, 2009. Thereupon verification shall be done either on that date or at an earliest possible occasion and on that basis needful shall be done. Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
