The petitioner no. 1 is, therefore, unable to make out a case for a direction to release the betel-nuts. The prayer as regards release is, thus, refused. Release of vehicle - HELD THAT:- It will be open for petitioner no. 2 to make an appropriate application before the competent authority who will consider the same and pass an appropriate order thereon within a period of 30 days from the date of filing of the application.
