THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.31111 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioner seeks a mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in detaining bus bearing No.AP27 Y 4222, belonging to the petitioner, as illegal, arbitrary and without any authority of law. When the matter is taken up, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for the respondents that the Head Constable of Nampally Police Station, Nalgonda District, has lodged a complaint on 23.10.2010 at about 6.15 hours with the Station House Officer, Chinthapalli Police Station stating that when Constable and Home Guard were returning to Police Station on motor cycle bearing No.AP9P 6931, the bus bearing No.AP27 Y 4222 belonging to the petitioner came in an opposite direction and dashed the motor cycle causing an accident. It is further submitted that based on such complaint, a case was registered in Crime No.201 of 2010 for the offence under Section 304-A IPC on the file of Chinthapalli Police Station, Nalgonda District. It is also submitted that the crime vehicle was deposited before the learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Devarakonda, Nalgonda District, along with Form No.66 on 07.12.2010 but when the same was returned with some objections, it was complied with and also re-submitted today i.e. 13.12.2010. As much as the seizure is already reported before the Magistrate concerned, the petitioner has to move the said authority for release of the crime vehicle. Without moving the said authority, the petitioner cannot seek directions from this Court for release of the vehicle in question. As much as it is reported that now Form No.66 relating to the crime vehicle is also re-submitted by complying with the objections, I deem it appropriate to permit the petitioner to approach the learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Devarakonda, Nalgonda District, for release of the vehicle in question. If he files an application for such purpose, I am sure, the authority concerned will take up and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 13th DECEMBER, 2010. Note: issue c.c. in two (2) days. kvni
