No.2316 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of June, 2008 ORDER Petitioner is aggrieved by condition No.3 imposed on him by the learned Magistrate while directing release of a vehicle belonging to him to his interim custody. The vehicle is allegedly involved in an offence committed under the Kerala Protection of River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand Act, 2001. The same vehicle was earlier released to the petitioner on 30.04.08 when it was seized for an identical allegation. On 22.05.08 the vehicle is again seized on similar allegations. It is, in these circumstances, that the learned Magistrate directed that a cash security of Rs.1 lakh or bank guarantee for the like sum be made available as condition for release. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposes any further relaxation of the said condition. I am satisfied in the facts and circumstances of this case that opposition by the learned Public Prosecutor is absolutely justified and the impugned order does not warrant any interference. 3. This Crl.M.C is, in these circumstances, dismissed. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) rtr/- 2
