THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1261 OF 2015 ORDER:

The petitioner has preferred the present criminal revision case by invoking provisions under Sections 397 and 401 of Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C.,) being aggrieved by the order dated 24.06.2015 passed in Crl.M.P.No.177 of 2015 in C.C.No.52 of 2015 on the file of the II Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class at Mancherial, whereby the learned trial Judge dismissed the petition filed by the petitioner for release of the vehicle, i.e., Maruti Zen VXI Estilo bearing No.AP 15 AD 8298 and black jaggery and alum. Heard and perused the material available on record. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the owner of the aforesaid vehicle and if the vehicle is kept idle for a long period, it will get damaged and hence, he prays to allow the petition.

Learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed for the same. Considering the facts and circumstances, it is directed that the vehicle i.e., Maruti Zen VXI Estilo bearing No.AP 15 AD 8298 shall be released to the petitioner for interim custody, subject to final orders to be passed in main case, on his executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) with one surety for a like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned, and subject to production of all the documents relating to the vehicle in question. The petitioner shall also give an undertaking not to sell, alter or alienate the said vehicle and produce the same as and when directed by the trial Court. However, this Order does not preclude the authorities concerned from proceeding with the confiscation proceedings. This Court also directs the Police Station concerned to release the black jaggery alone to the petitioner herein on execution of

personal bond for a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees one lakh only) with one surety to the satisfaction of the authorities concerned. With the above directions, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. Consequently, the miscellaneous petitions filed in this revision, if any, shall stand closed.
