5] At this stage except the applicant there is no other claimant who
has claimed the custody of seized vehicle. Admittedly the said vehicle cannot be
termed as weapon and no purpose is likely to be served by detaining the said
vehicle in the custody of investigation agency till conclusion of trial. On the
other hand there is every possibility that the vehicle will get damaged in case
keep in open which is in the possession of the investigation agency. Therefore,
the application for return of property certainly deserves to be allowed as no
prejudice is likely to be caused to the investigation agency, if the same is
handed over to the original owner. Hence, the application deserves to be
allowed on certain terms and conditions. Therefore, I pass the following order :
