THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.12369 OF 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is ﬁled by the petitioner to set aside the order dated 16.11.2011 in Crl.M.P.No. 1930 of 2011 in Crime No. 1731 of 2011, passed by the learned II Metropolitan Magistrate, Cyberabad at L.B.Nagar, Hyderabad and order for interim custody of Maruthi Omni vehicle bearing Registration No. AP 29 K 2223 to the petitioner. When the petitioner moved Crl.M.P.No. 1930 of 2011 before the trial Court, the same was dismissed on the ground that she was not cited as a witness and that she has not established the factum as to how the vehicle was in possession of the accused in the crime. According to Sections 451 and 457 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, when any property is produced before any criminal Court during any inquiry or trial, the Court may make such order as it thinks ﬁt for the inquiry or trial and if the property is subject to speedy or natural decay, or if it is otherwise expedient so to do, the Court may, after recording such evidence as it thinks necessary, order it to be sold or otherwise disposed of. In view of the same, the investigating agency is directed to return the vehicle to the petitioner, on her executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.1 lac with one surety for a like sum to the satisfaction of the trial Court. The petitioner is directed not alienate or change the nature and features of the vehicle apart from her liability to produce the vehicle as and when directed. With this, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. ---------------------------------- JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 01st December 2011 ksld
