THE OFFICER-IN-CHARGE, P.S- SRIKRISHNAPURI, PATNA..........................................................................................RESPONDENTS ----------- For Appellant:-Mr. Kumar Madhurendra, Advocate Mr. Gopal Gobind Mishra, Advocate Mr. Delanjan Chaudhary, Advocate For the State:-AC to SC-3. ----------- 03. 25-Jun-2010 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned counsel for the State and perused the order under appeal whereby a writ petition preferred by the appellant bearing CWJC. No. 9394/2009 was dismissed with a liberty to the appellant to move the court of appropriate jurisdiction at appropriate time if he was serious in claiming compensation on the ground that his vehicle was wrongly seized leading to a criminal case which is still pending. 2. Learned counsel for the appellant has placed reliance upon a judgment of learned single Judge in the case of Devendra Rai Vs. The State of Bihar 2009(2) PLJR, 2 903, wherein compensation was awarded against the police officer when the court found that in spite of order of the competent court the concerned officer had avoided to release the vehicle for more than one year. We find that case to be entirely different. 3. In the facts of the case, when the criminal case is still pending, it would not be appropriate to initiate a parallel proceeding under writ jurisdiction and hence we find no good reasons to interfere with the order of the writ court. 4. This appeal is dismissed summarily. perwez (R.M. Doshit, C.J.) (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
