It is submitted that the value of the vehicle is within Rs.3 lakhs and as such, the said condition of furnishing bank guarantee of Rs.3 lakhs may be set aside. 4 In my view, there is some substance in the said submission. The vehicle was registered. The order was passed on 11th February, 2008. The vehicle was seized on 30th September, 2007. The market value of the vehicle, therefore, does not appear to be Rs. 3 lakhs. Secondly, the applicant is unable to furnish bank guarantee of Rs.3 lakhs. If the vehicle remains in custody of the police, the vehicle will have be to disposed of as scrap. 5 Hence, the condition of furnishing bank 3 guarantee of Rs.3 lakhs is set arise. The applicant, however, shall execute the Indemnity Bond in the sum of Rs.1 lakh with solvent surety for the same amount. The other conditions, however, shall continue. 6 Writ Petition, accordingly, is allowed in the aforesaid terms and disposed of. (V.M. KANADE, J.)
