IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. WJC No.448 of 2008 BISHWANATH SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3. 3.09.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. The prayer in this writ application is for release of a sum of Rs. 70,000/- and the Bajaj motorcycle of the petitioner alleged to have been illegally seized in connection with Forbisganj P S Case No. 528 of 2007 corresponding to G.R. No. 2800 of 2007. Section 451 of the Code of Criminal Procedure provides that when any property is produced before a criminal court during enquiry and trial the Court can make such order as it thinks fit with regard to the property. In view of the fact that the petitioner has adequate and efficacious alternative statutory remedy available under the Code and instead of availing which he has rushed straight to this Court there is no occasion to entertain his application at this stage. The Court declines exercise of jurisdiction because of alternative statutory remedy available to him. The writ application is disposed with the observation that if the petitioner files an appropriate application before the concerned Magistrate for release of his property the same is required to be considered and decided in accordance with law without unnecessary delay provided the petitioner himself cooperates.
