In the nature of the direction sought to be issued, it is not necessary to issue notice to respondents 3 and 4. 3. Petitioner entered into an agreement with the registered owner of a stage carriage bearing Reg.KL44/1541,as per Exhibit-P1. There is a dispute as to whether the terms of the agreement have been complied with by the petitioner in their entirety. It seems that in the meanwhile the 3rd respondent entered into an agreement with the 4th respondent and according to the petitioner now there is an attempt between respondents 3 and 4 to see that vehicle is transferred in favour of 4th respondent and see that the transfer is endorsed in the registration certificate. Petitioner has therefore filed W.P ( C) No.15346 of 2009 2 Exhibits P5 and P6 complaints before the 1st respondent. 4. In the circumstances, it is only appropriate that the petitioner be heard on Exhibits P5 and P6 before any transfer in relation to vehicle No.KL-44/1541 is effected from the name of the existing registered owner. It is ordered accordingly. It is made clear that the 1st respondent shall hear the petitioner as also respondents 3 and 4 before a decision is taken as aforementioned. Writ petition is disposed of as above. (V.GIRI,JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No.15346 of 2009 3 W.P ( C) No.15346 of 2009 4
