Heard Shri K.A. Kothari, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri A.S. Fulzele, learned A.P.P. for respondents.

It is not in dispute that the vehicle is already released by the respondents. Learned counsel for the petitioner however, seeks leave to urge other contentions. He states that vehicle of petitioner was not kept properly and therefore, has suffered some damage. According to him, action taken was high handed and unsustainable in law.

Learned A.P.P. is opposing the arguments.

We find that criminal prosecution is pending against the petitioner. Contingent upon its result or even otherwise, it is open to the petitioner to seek appropriate relief in civil jurisdiction.

No costs.
