IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.38109 of 2007 1. DINDAUAL PRASAD , S/o Durga Prasad, R/o Mohalla Village 16, Shailendranath Basu Road, P.S. Golabari, District Hawra (West Bengal) 2. Bikky Kumar @ Bikki Kumar, Son of Jatahu Singh, R/o village Sutihara, P.S. Mushari, District Muzaffarpur, Bihar …….. Petitioners Versus STATE OF BIHAR …………… Opp. Party. ----------- 3 8.12.2008 Heard Mr. Nirmal Kumar Sinha, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. Jharkhandi Upadhaya, learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioners have challenged the order dated 3.4.2007 passed in Piprakothi P.S. Case No. 122 of 2005, whereby their prayer for the release of the seized articles which are silver jewellary and silver has been rejected. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that they are carriers of silver jewellary and silver on behalf of their employer M/s Shukti Alankar, a licensed dealer of Gold and Silver ornaments. The petitioners being carriers of the principal, namely, M/s Shukti Alankar have no right to pray for release of the property as such requests can be made only by the owner thereof and not the petitioners. The learned court below had rightly rejected the petition for release of the materials in their favour. Accordingly this application is dismissed as being without merit. Spd/- (Abhijit Sinha, J.)
