The brief facts of the case are that the Anti Corruption Bureau, Hyderabad Circle, on credible information that the second respondent herein by name A.Srinivasa Reddy is in possession of disproportionate assets, other than known sources of income, raided his house and found various assets including the vehicle in question, which was parked in front of his house. As the vehicle was also not shown in his known sources of income, the said vehicle along with other incriminatory material was seized and a case was registered in Crime No.32/ACB-CR.II/2010. During the course of investigation, the petitioner claiming that he is the owner of the vehicle filed the said Crl.M.P. under Section 451 Cr.P.C. for handing over the said vehicle along with the keys to him. However, as stated supra, the said application was dismissed. Hence, he approached this Court and filed this Revision. Heard both sides. Having heard the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court looked into the record. From the Income tax returns filed by the petitioner for the financial years 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 and also the Registration Certificate, it is clear that the said vehicle was purchased by him from out of the loan advanced by the Reliance Capital Limited. The said fact is clearly borne from those documents. From a perusal of the said documents annexed to this Revision, this Court is thoroughly satisfied that the petitioner happens to be the owner of the said vehicle. In those circumstances, this Court has no hesitation to come to a conclusion that the petitioner is entitled for the custody of the said vehicle. Accordingly, this Criminal Revision Case is allowed and the said vehicle bearing No.AP11 AE 2772 is hereby ordered to be released in favour of the petitioner. However, the petitioner shall produce the said vehicle before the Court as and when required, and he shall not alienate the same during the pendency of the enquiry, investigation and trial of the said case. ___________________________________ JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA 11th February 2011 DR
