This Court is of the view that no such order as prayed by the petitioner is necessary. However, considering the circumstances of the case, the learned Magistrate, who passed the order for return of the vehicles to the petitioner herein is directed not to insist the petitioner for production of the R.C. Books in view of the fact that the said RC books are already before The Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sangareddy, in Crime No.155 of 2008. With above observation, the criminal petition is disposed of. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 28.07.2010 sur
