Proceedings were initiated against the vehicle under the provisions of Kerala Protection of River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand Act, 2001. On the request of the petitioner for interim custody of the vehicle, Ext.P4 order has been passed. However, on account of the conditions imposed, petitioner was not in a position to take advantage of the said order. In these circumstances, the prayer sought in the writ petition is to direct the second respondent to pass final orders in the proceedings. 2. Now that the petitioner is unable to take advantage of Ext.P4 order giving interim custody of the vehicle, I feel it is a fit case where the second respondent should conclude the proceedings, giving notice to the petitioner and after affording an opportunity of hearing to him. This the second respondent W.P.(C) No.36748/10 : 2 : shall do as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. 3.
