ORDER
Petitioner claims to be the owner of a Tipper Lorry
bearing registration No.KL-38-5269. The vehicle was seized by
the 3rd respondent alleging violation of the provisions of the
Kerala Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 2015 and the Mines and
Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957. After seizure,
the petitioner's vehicle was produced before the Judicial First
Class Magistrate Court(Temporary) South Paravur, Kollam. On the
basis of an application submitted by the petitioner under Section
457 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the learned Magistrate
issued Annexure A1 order directing release of the vehicle, subject
to conditions. The petitioner complied with the conditions and the
vehicle was released.
2. This Crl.M.C is filed aggrieved by condition No.G in
paragraph 4 of Annexure A1 order, directing the original
documents produced before the court to be retained in court
custody and to issue true certified copies of those documents to
the petitioner. Annexure A2 is the order passed by this Court,
whereby, the condition akin to condition No.G in paragraph 4 of
Annexure A1 was modified.
3. On the facts of this case and in view of the
earlier order passed by this Court under similar circumstances, I
am inclined to grant the relief sought.
In the result, condition No.G in paragraph 4 of
Annexure A1 is modified as follows:-
The petitioner shall submit an affidavit undertaking to
produce the original documents of the vehicle bearing
registration No. KL-38-5269 as and when required by the court.
On submission of such affidavit, the original documents of the
vehicle kept in the safe custody of the court shall be released to
the petitioner, after substituting those documents with certified
copies.
The Crl.M.C is allowed as above.
