THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. PRAKASH RAO CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.5153 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner-appellant, who is the owner of lorry bearing No.APS 6957, filed this revision under Section 115 C.P.C., seeking to assail the order dated 10.11.2005 passed in C.M.A.No.36 of 2000 on the file of the Court of the District Judge, Kahmmam, whereby the Court below directed the petitioner to deposit Rs.1,30,000/- towards seizure and confiscation of the lorry. Since the vehicle was involved in various offences for transporting timber unauthorizedly, confiscation proceedings had been initiated against the petitioner and the Divisional Forest Officer, Khammam, held against the petitioner and confiscated the vehicle. Thereupon, the petitioner filed the C.M.A. before the Court below and the same was allowed in part by the impugned order. Hence, this revision. Heard the learned counsel for both sides and perused the material on record. This Court, while admitting the revision on 03.11.2006, suspended the impugned order subject to the condition that the petitioner shall keep in force the bank guarantee of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees one lakh only) as ordered earlier in W.P.No.22450 of 1999 for release of the vehicle. Taking into consideration the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, where timber has already been confiscated by the authorities, this Court is of the view that the bank guarantee of Rs.1,00,000/- would be sufficient towards confiscation of the vehicle. Accordingly, the impugned order dated 10.11.2005 passed in C.M.A.No.36 of 2000 is modified only to the extent of reducing the confiscation amount to Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees one lakh only), instead of Rs.1,30,000/- (Rupees one lakh and thirty thousand only), towards release of the lorry. Subject to the above, the Civil Revision Petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ B. PRAKASH RAO, J 15th July, 2010 GHN
