THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR Criminal Petition No.4634 of 2011 ORDER: Heard the petitioner’s counsel Sri Janardhan Reddy Ponaka and the Public Prosecutor. The Public Prosecutor says that the investigation is over. There is no compelling reason to refuse the release of the vehicle, which is a lorry, which is said to be involved in illegal transportation of sand. The petitioner claims to be the owner. There is no point in keeping the lorry/truck in the court custody as that may result in it becoming a junk and useless. In the circumstances, the lorry in question is ordered to be released and interim custody is directed to be given to the petitioner on his depositing a sum of Rs.20,000/-(Rupees twenty thousand only) in the trial Court and further executing a personal bond for Rs.25,000/-(Rupees twenty five thousand only) with one surety for a like sum to the satisfaction of the trial Court with an undertaking to produce the lorry before the trial Court or any other Court as and when called upon. The petitioner shall also deposit the Registration Certificate of the lorry, which is said to be in his name and obtain a copy of it from the trial Court under the certification if he needs it. The trial Court may verify the registration certificate and grant the release order subject to the above terms if the Registration Certificate stands in the name of the petitioner. With the above conditions, this Criminal Petition is allowed. ___________________ N.RAVI SHANKAR, J. 22nd June 2011, Note: Issue copy by tomorrow. B/o. Rns
