The said accused were arrested and the contraband and the vehicle also were seized and those two crimes referred to above were registered against the accused therein. As the petitioner is the owner of the vehicle, he approached the learned Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Hyderabad and filed Crl.P.No.781 of 2010 for grant of interim custody of the said vehicle. On 24-09- 2010, the learned Metropolitan Sessions Judge passed the following order: “ In the result, the interim custody of the vehicle-Fusion car bearing No.AP13L 8999 shall be given to the petitioner/owner of the vehicle on his depositing the original Registration Certificate before the Court and also on his furnishing a bond for Rs.6,00,000/- with one surety for like sum undertaking to produce the said vehicle as and when called for by the Court in the same condition as it is now without making any changes in its physical features and further that the petitioner shall not part with the ownership over the same, until further orders, petition is ordered accordingly”. Aggrieved thereby, petitioner filed the present revision stating that the said conditions imposed by the learned Judge are onerous. 3. Heard both sides. Perused the record. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the original Registration Certificate is in the crime vehicle-Fusion car and as the said vehicle is in the custody of the police, petitioner is not in a position to deposit the same. 5. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the above contention and, on instructions, he states that the said Registration Certificate of the petitioner is neither with the police nor in the crime vehicle. However, as the learned counsel for the petitioner states that petitioner is prepared to furnish bank guarantee to a tune of Rs.3,00,000/-, this Court is of the view that the said vehicle can be ordered to be released. 6. Accordingly, modifying the order impugned, Criminal Revision Case is allowed and the vehicle-Fusion car, bearing No.AP 13L 8999, shall be released in favour of the petitioner on condition of his furnishing bank guarantee in a sum of Rs.3,00,000/- ( rupees three lakhs only) to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer, Central Crime Station, North Zone, Team, Hyderabad, in connection with Cr.No.224 of 2010 and on further condition that he shall produce the said vehicle as and when required and he will not alienate the same during pendency of the investigation in the said crime. ________________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 04th October, 2010 Note: Issue C.C. of the order within two days.
