But there is no reason for the goods to be continue to be detained. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to release the goods detained under Exhibit-P4 to the petitioner, on the petitioner executing a bond without sureties for the sum demanded therein. It is made clear that adjudication as contemplated in Exhibit-P4 shall be completed within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
