He submits that although the vehicle was seized on24.12.2007, no final orders have been passed by the 3[rd]respondent as required under the Act and Rules. He seeksinterim custody of the vehicle pending final orders by the DistrictCollector. I am of opinion that the District Collector shoulddispose of the matter finally expeditiously.
In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed ofdirecting the 3[rd] respondent to pass final orders pursuant toExt.P2 Seizure as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within 7days from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
