No. KL.8 AG 6618 allegedly used for kidnapping the de facto complainant on 30-1-2008 from Vaikkom to Coimbatore by demanding payment of a ransom of Rs. 50,00,000/- by threatening to kill him, sought interim custody of the vehicle by filing Crl.M.P. No. 465 of 2008. 2. Since the vehicle is a material object to be proved in the crime and also since the investigation in the infant stage, the Magistrate dismissed the application. I do not find any good ground to interfere with the discretion exercised by the learned Magistrate. However it is made clear that the dismissal of the application will not preclude the petitioner from moving against after the investigation of the case is over. This Crl. M.C is accordingly dismissed . V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani.
