It is stated that the 2nd respondent has seized their Tipper Lorries while it was transporting ordinary soil. Petitioners state that they have filed Ext.P4 before the 1st respondent seeking release of the Tipper Lorries and that there has not been any response on the applications made. It is in these circumstances, this writ petition is filed praying for a direction to the respondents to release the Tipper Lorries belonging to the petitioners. 2. As already noticed, proceedings are pending before the 1st respondent. It is at that stage the petitioners are seeking release of the Tipper Lorries. In my view, this is primarily for the 1st respondent to consider. Hence, it is directed that, if Ext.P4 has been received and is pending, the 1st respondent shall consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two weeks of W.P.C.No. 2325 OF 2009 -:2:- production of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) ttb
