The petitioner seeks the release of documents seized during a search from his residence on 23rd July, 2002.

Be that as it may, since the petitioner has requested the release of all the documents referred in Annexure-A to the panchanama, learned 2 counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents states that he has instructions that there is no objection to the release of all documents, provided the petitioner makes a formal application to that effect. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that he would do so within a period of one week from today. On such an application being made, the respondents shall abide by their statement to do the needful within a period of four weeks thereafter. 3.
