SATHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. ----------------------- W.P.(C).No.6395 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 27th day of February, 2009. JUDGMENT The prayer sought for in this writ petition is to direct the respondents to release the vehicles of the petitioners forthwith. From the pleadings it would appear that the tipper lorries bearing registration Nos. KL04 K 3441 and KL8 8528 belonging to the petitioners have been seized by the respondents. Evidently proceedings have been initiated on the allegation that the vehicles were used for leveling work. Since the proceedings are pending before the 5th respondent, it is for the 5th respondent to consider the request made by the petitioners. It would appear that seeking release of the vehicles the petitioners have already moved the 5th respondent by filing Exts.P4 and P5. 2. Since these representations are pending, I direct the 5th respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P4 WP(c).N.6395/09 /2/ and P5 as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 10 days from the date of production of a copy of the judgment provided the representations have been received and are pending. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment before the 5th respondent for compliance. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WP(c).N.6395/09 /2/
