Learned counsel for the petitioner in WP.No.16944/2017 states that they hired the petitioner's vehicle (Lorry No.AP 27 TU 2829) to carry the goods and that they have no objection for release the said vehicle in favour of the petitioner in WP.No.24869/2017. In view of the facts and circumstances and following the order dated 13.02.2017 passed by this Court in WP.No.4895 of 2017, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to release the vehicle (Lorry No.AP 27 TU 2829) to the petitioner on production of ownership particulars by him. No order as to costs. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in the writ petition, shall stand closed.
