 CRL.MC NO. 3484 OF 2024                      2



                                    ORDER

The petitioner is the registered owner of a Mercedes Benz Car bearing registration No.CH-01-BF-6994. The petitioner is aggrieved by Annexure A2 order passed by the Special Judge, Fast Track Special Court, Chavakkad, by which there is a direction to take the photographs of the vehicle singed by the accused also.

2. As per Annexure A2 order, the Special Judge, Fast Track Special Court, Chavakkad released the vehicle bearing registration No.CH-01-BF-6994 to the petitioner subject to the following conditions:-

''1. The petitioner shall execute bond for Rs.5,00,000/- (Rupees five lakhs only) with two solvent sureties for the like sum.
2. The petitioner shall keep the vehicle under good and proper condition and shall not alienate or transfer possession of the vehicle and shall produce the vehicle as and when ordered by this court.
3. Before the vehicle is released to the petitioner, photographs of the vehicle taken in different angles signed by the petitioner, accused and their counsel shall be produced before this court.'' Petitioner is aggrieved by the third condition in which it is stated that the signature of the accused is also necessary in the photographs of the vehicle.

3. Heard the learned Public Prosecutor also. CRL.MC NO. 3484 OF 2024 3

4. I think such a condition is not necessary in the facts and circumstances of this case. After hearing the learned Public Prosecutor also, I am of the considered opinion that the condition No.3 in Annexure A2 can be modified.

Therefore, the Crl.M.C is disposed of modifying condition No.3 in the order dated 01.03.2024 in Crl.M.P. No.303/2023 in S.C. No.1086/2023 of the Special Judge, Fast Track Special Court, Chavakkad in the following manner:-

''3. Before the vehicle is released to the petitioner, photographs of the vehicle taken in different angles signed by the petitioner and his counsel shall be produced before this court.'' Sd/-
