P.N.SANTHOSH, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. --------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 9475 of 2009 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 24th day of March, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioner states that he submitted an application to the first respondent for permanent registration of his Bajaj Motor Cycle, however the same was returned for the reason that in Exhibit P3 order passed by the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Tirur, releasing the vehicle, it was mentioned that original RC was produced by the petitioner. According to the petitioner, the vehicle has only a temporary registration and that the statement in Exhibit P3 that RC was produced is factually wrong. In my view, the 1st respondent ought not have been guided by what is stated in Exhibit P3 and on the other hand, in view of the case of the petitioner if there is a mistake in Exhibit P3, the first respondent ought to have made an enquiry and found out the correct facts. Therefore, it will be open to the petitioner to submit application for permanent registration to the first respondent, in which case, the same will be accepted and orders shall be passed W.P.(C) No. 9475/2009 2 on merits of the case. Orders shall be passed as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within four weeks of production of copy of this judgment along with the application for permanent registration. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE scm
