No. 3274 of 2007 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated: 10th September 2007 ORDER Petitioner who claims to be the registered owner of a Tata Sumo bearing Reg. No. Kl-4 D-8007 filed Crl.M.P. 57 of 2007 before the Special Judge for N.D.P.S. Act Cases, Thodupuzha, for interim custody of the vehicle in Crime No. 84 of 2007 of Santhanpara Police Station. The vehicle was allegedly used for transporting ganja on 26- 3-2007 at 8.40 p.m. and was seized by the Santhanpara Police in the aforesaid crime and was produced before the Special court and kept in the police station as per the directions of the Special Court. According to the petitioner, he purchased the vehicle from its registered owner one Mathai Paulose on 3-4-2007 that is the date on which the vehicle was in the Santhanpara Police Station after its seizure in the case. This means that the alleged purchase of the vehicle by the revision petitioner was after the vehicle was involved in an offence under the N.D.P.S. Act. It was after considering all the relevant aspects that the Special Judge refused interim custody. I see no ground to interfere with this revision which is accordingly dismissed. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani.
