ORDER BELOW APPLICATION FOR RETURN OF PROPERTY
1] This is an application filed by applicant for return of property
namely Bajaj Pulsar motorcycle bearing No. MH03BK3345 valued at
Rs.95,000/ seized in C.R. No.279/2019 (C.C. No.1519/PS/2019) registered
under section 279, 336, 34 of I.P.C. r/w. Sec.129, 184 of M. V. Act by Bandra
Police Station.
2] On the application say of respondent was called. The Investigating
Officer and Ld. APP filed their say wherein no objection to handover custody of
seized property to the applicant on certain terms and conditions is conveyed.
3] Perused application, documents and say. Heard advocate for
applicant. On perusal of the application and verified copies of certificate of
registration, insurance paper of the said motorcycle, it is seen that the applicant
is owner of the said vehicle. The applicant has annexed verified copy of
Aadhaar Card as proving of his identify and address.
4] At this stage except the applicant/accused 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 :
ORDER
1] The application is allowed.
