THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.346 of 2004 JUDGMENT: The state filed this Criminal Revision Case questioning the order dated 12.11.2001 passed in Criminal Revision Petition No.129 of 2001 on the file of the learned IV Additional Sessions Judge, Guntur, whereby the order dated 04.06.2001 in Crl.M.P.No.2245 of 2001 in Crime No.14 of 2001 of Chilakaluripet Town Police Station on the file of the learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Chilakaluripet, was modified. Crime No.14 of 2001 was registered against the respondent herein by Chilakaluripet Town Police Station, for the offences punishable under Sections 29 and 68 of A.P. Forest Act. As the lorry bearing No.ABT 4282 belonging to the petitioner is alleged to have been involved in the said crime, it was seized. Thereupon, the respondent herein filed an application being Crl.M.P.No.2245 of 2001 in Crime No.14 of 2001 of Chilakaluripet Town Police Station, under Sections 451 and 457 of Cr.P.C., before the learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Chilakaluripet, seeking return of the seized crime vehicle, and the learned Magistrate, having considered the material on record, by order dated 04.06.2001 ordered for interim custody of the crime vehicle in favour of the respondent herein till disposal of the trial on executing a bond for Rs.6,00,000/- with two sureties each for a likesum. Aggrieved thereby, the respondent herein filed Criminal Revision Petition No.129 of 2001 before the learned IV Additional Sessions Judge, Guntur, who, after detail consideration of the matter, by order dated 12.11.2001, modified the order dated 04.06.2001 passed by the trial Court and ordered for interim custody of the crime vehicle in favour of the petitioner till disposal of the case on his executing a bond for Rs.1,50,000/- with two sureties each for the likesum to the satisfaction of the trial Court. Challenging the same, the present Criminal Revision Case is filed. Apparently, the crime vehicle was seized in the year 2000 and both the Courts below, having considered the matter in detail, ordered for release of the crime vehicle with certain conditions. Further, I am of the considered view that by this time, the police must have completed the investigation and filed the charge sheet in the subject crime and the case also must have been ended. In these circumstances, I see no merits in this Criminal Revision Case and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. __________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA,J 15.11.2001 v v
