Alappuzha. The petitioner's grievance is that despite the petitioner approaching the 1st respondent with all documents the same has not been released to the petitioner. Therefore the petitioner filed Ext.P4 before the 1st respondent. Petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 expeditiously. 2. The learned Government Pleader submits that the vehicle was found abandoned and that is why the same has been detained. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording W.P.(C)No. 14407 of 2010 -2- an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner who shall produce the records relating to the vehicle before the 1st respondent, in support of his claim.
