On instructions, the learned AGP says that in relation to instruments lodged with the Respondents Nos. 2 to 5, the necessary orders in accordance with law would be passed as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of four weeks from today. There is no question of then retaining the original instruments. The Petitioners having obtained the necessary relief or direction, we do not think that the Writ Petition needs to be kept pending. It is disposed of.
