THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.646 of 2002 DATED: 15-07-2010 ORDER: This revision is filed by the petitioner, questioning the judgment, dated 26-02-2002, passed in Crl.R.P.No.68 of 2001 by he learned I Additional Sessions Judge, Nellore. 2. A case in Cr.No.288 of 2001 was registered against the driver of the 2nd respondent herein by the police, V Town police station, Nellore for an offence punishable under Section 366-A IPC. As the vehicle involved in the crime belongs to the 2nd respondent, he approached the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Nellore and filed Crl.M.P.No.3827 of 2001 under Section 451 IPC for interim custody of the same. However, the said petition was dismissed by the learned II Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Nellore. Questioning the said order, the 2nd respondent herein filed Crl.R.P.No.68 of 2001 on the file of the learned 1 Additional Sessions Judge, Nellore and the learned Sessions Judge allowed the said petition and ordered interim custody of the vehicle by imposing certain conditions. The same is questioned in this revision by the petitioner herein, stating that he is the financier of the said vehicle and therefore he is entitled for interim custody of the same. 3. Apparently, the said order, whereby the interim custody of the vehicle was given to the 2nd respondent, is dated 26-02-2002 and the said order was not suspended by this Court while admitting the revision. Learned counsel for the petitioner could not state as to the present status of the crime. In my considered view, by now the crime must have been investigated into and the police must have submitted a final report or referred the matter as ‘false’. Further, the interim custody of the vehicle was ordered about eight years back. Now, at this length of time, it is not proper for this Court to interfere with the same and pass any orders. If the petitioner has any grievance, he may proceed against the 2nd respondent herein in accordance with law. 4. Accordingly, Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. _______________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA,J 15th July, 2010. Tsy
