Petitioner submits that he was never the registered owner of the vehicle and hence he could not have been proceeded against. In my view this matter requires to be re-examined since the authorities have not considered this contention. 2. As the petitioner filed Ext.P5 before the third respondent urging his contentions, I direct the third respondent to examine the same in the light of the contentions that are raised in Ext.P5. Third respondent shall do this with notice to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible at any rate within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. 3. In the meanwhile further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P4 shall be kept in abeyance. W.P.(C).34280/2007 2 4. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the third respondent for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC Judge mrcs
