The petitioners sought for a direction to the respondents to release the said autos. At the hearing, Sri G.Venkateswara Rao, learned counsel for the petitioners fairly conceded that the petitioners have not filed formal applications before respondent No.1 for release of the autos. Since the petitioners failed to make any such applications, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition. The writ petition is, hence, dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to approach respondent No.1 with applications for releasing their autos and on such applications being filed, respondent No.1 shall consider and dispose of the same within one (1) week from the date of receipt of the applications. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP.No.11254 of 2008 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
