JUDGMENT
This writ petition has been filed seeking to challenge Ext.P4 and to direct release of the consignment detained as per Ext.P4 to the petitioner. By an interim order dated 11.1.2013, the consignment has already been released on the petitioner executing a bond with sureties to the satisfaction of the authority. There was also a direction to complete the adjudication within two months.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as the adjudication has not been completed what remains is only a proper adjudication pursuant to Ext.P4. In such circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of as under:
There will be a direction to the competent authority to complete the adjudication pursuant to Ext.P4 within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
