Seeking its release, the petitioner has made Ext.P4 complains and in spite of this, petitioner complaints that the passport is not released. In view of these facts, I see no justification for the respondent to detain the passport any further. 2. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the respondent shall take up and consider Ext.P4 representation made by the petitioner in the light of the order passed by the court below and referred to herein above. Final orders on Ext.P4 shall be passed, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two weeks of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
