Dated this the 20th day of February, 2009.
JUDGMENT
The prayer sought for in this writ petition is to direct
the respondents to return the cassettes seized as per
Ext.P3, without in any manner tampering the same. The
fact that the cassettes were seized by the Tour Manager of
M/s. Travel Times (India) Pvt. Ltd is admitted by the
respondent in the counter affidavit filed by them. It is also
stated that the said action was necessitated on account of
Ext.R1(a) complaint made by some other passengers. It is
stated that cassettes were received by them only on
10.2.2009.
2. In paragraph 8 of the counter affidavit it has been
stated thus.
“The respondents have no objection in
returning the cassettes to the petitioner, after
ascertaining that it does not contain anything
objectionable to the passengers in question.
WP(c).No.3625/09 /2/
The verification can be doe in the presence of the
IRCTS, petitioner and the representatives of the
passengers and Tour operator, as directed by
this Hon’ble Court.”
Now that the respondents have agreed to return the
cassettes after verification, in the manner as stated in
paragraph 8 of the counter affidavit, I direct that the petitioner
shall appear before the Regional Manager of IRCTC Ernakulam
on 25th February, 2009. Thereupon verification shall be done
either on that date or at an earliest possible occasion and on
that basis needful shall be done.
Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
