There is no dispute that the vehicle in question belongs to the petitioner herein. 5) Considering the above circumstances, it is directed that vehicle i.e., TVS XL Super bearing Registration No. AP 20 AD 5737 shall be released for interim custody of the petitioner, subject to final orders to be passed at the time of disposal of main case, on executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousands only) with one surety.
