S.B. Criminal Misc. Petition No. 534/2010 Islamuddin vs. State of Rajasthan Date: 29.03.2010 HON'BLE MR. MAHESH BHAGWATI, J. Mr. Atul Kumar Jain, for the petitioner. Mr. Amit Punia, Public Prosecutor. Mr. G.S. Fauzdar, Special PP for the JVVNL. Heard learned counsel for the parties and carefully perused the impugned order dated 09.07.2008 passed by the Special Judge SC/ST Cases, Tonk. 2. It is cardinal principle of criminal jurisprudence that any property recovered, may either be released to the person from whose possession it has been recovered or to its bona fide claimant. In the case of a vehicle, the bona fide claimant undeniably and undisputably is its registered owner. From the perusal of the impugned order dated 09.07.2008, it is noticed that one Mohammad Shakir is said to have sold motor-cycle bearing registration No. RJU 7160 to the petitioner Islamuddin. This vehicle was never registered in the name of Mohammad Shakir, hence, the question arises as to from where did he get the authority to sell the vehicle to the petitioner? Learned trial court as also the revisional court in its jurisdiction dismissed the petition of the petitioner on the ground that he was not the registered owner of the motor-cycle in question. The order of the reviisonal court is found to be perfect, just and proper, which warrants no intervention. 3. For the reasons stated above, the petition filed under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. being bereft of merits deserves to be dismissed at the threshold which stands dismissed accordingly. (MAHESH BHAGWATI),J.
