"a) The 3rd respondent shall decide the show cause notice on merits, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and preferably, within a period of three months from today. Petitioner is directed to communicate this order to the concerned authority within ten days from today.

b) In the meanwhile, if the petitioner deposits the amount of tax (i.e., Rs.7,73,291.5) and compounding fee (i.e., Rs.11.500/-), as indicated in the show cause notice, the concerned authority shall release the vehicle detained by them subject to the outcome of the show cause notice. All contentions on merits are kept open." With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of.

Consequently, pending miscellaneous applications shall also stand closed.
