IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4198 of 2010 1. DILIP CARRIER PVT. LTD., HAVING ITS OFFICE AT 54/3C, DEVENDRA CHANDRA DAY ROAD, KOLKATA-15 (W.B.), THROUGH ITS DIRECTOR KHIRU SHAW Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. OFFICER-IN-CHARGE, PIPRA, SUPAUL ----------- 2. 3.05.2010 The writ petition is limited to the releasing of a public carrier tank lorry having registration no.NL-02D-6390 which was seized on 20.06.2009 by Officer-in-charge, Pipra police station, District-Supaul in connection with Pipra P.S.Case No.98/09 registered under Section 7 of the Essential Commodities Act read with various sections of the Indian Penal Code. Be that as it may, as no useful purpose would be served by permitting the tank-lorry to remain idle, it being a commercial lorry, I direct that the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Supaul will release the tank lorry aforesaid on proper identification and on proper production of papers in that regard and after duly verifying that subject to security to his satisfaction including a local surety. This release would be subject to final result in the criminal case and any order that is passed in the confiscation case in relation thereto by the Collector, Supaul. 2 The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. While releasing the truck, let it be made clear that the court is not releasing the superior kerosene oil thereon for which authorities may make separate arrangement. Let the order be communicated to the concerned by fax at the cost of the petitioner. V.K. Pandey (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
