It is the contention of the petitioner that the 2nd respondent has illegally re-possessed the vehicle and is now attempting to get the vehicle transferred in its name. Objecting to such a step, the petitioner has already approached the 1st respondent and filed Ext.P4 application dated 2.12.2007. Thereafter this writ petition is filed praying for a direction to the 1st respondent not to transfer the vehicle in favour of the 2nd respondent. 2. Now that the petitioner has already approached the 1st respondent by making Ext.P4 application, and as the 1st respondent is the statutory authority in so far as the issued raised by the petitioner is concerned, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 1st respondent shall take up Ext.P4 application made by the petitioner, if and when a request is made by the 2nd respondent for WP(C) 588 of 2008 Page numbers transfer of the vehicle mentioned above in its favour. If a request is so received from the 2nd respondent before any final decision is taken, the petitioner should also be given notice and opportunity of being heard. Petitioner may produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
