C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.9714 of 2007 .................................................................... Dated this the 26th day of June, 2007. JUDGMENT Even though petitioner has a case that registration certificate of the vehicle is surrendered to the R.T.O. on 28.2.2001 for cancellation of registration, Government Pleader reported that even as on 26.3.2005 petitioner reported that financier has taken away the vehicle. The petitioner has not produced any evidence to establish surrender of RC book or scrapping of vehicle. Moreover, even if RC is surrendered for cancellation, petitioner was entitled to take it back after cancellation. In the circumstances, I find no merits in the W.P. The W.P. is accordingly dismissed.
