THE FOLLOWING:
Crl.MC.No.3362 OF 2021 2
O R D E R
Dated this the 30th day of July 2021
The petitioner is the owner of vehicle No.KL-35 D
8554 which was produced before the Judicial First Class
Magistrate Court, South Paravur and the petitioner
approached the court with an application under section
457 CRPC for release of the vehicle which is a tipper
lorry. The learned magistrate vide order at Annexure-B
allowed the petition and imposed certain conditions.
One of the condition is that the originals of the
documents shall be kept in safe custody of the Court
and the petitioner shall be issued true copy certified
from the Court for all legal and practical purposes. The
petitioner is aggrieved with condition No.7. Hence he
seeks interference of this Court.
2. The vehicle is a tipper lorry and the
petitioner will have to use it for the purpose of making
his livelihood. Without the original documents in
possession, he may not be able to carry on with his
work. Therefore, I find that condition No.7 is not
required and reasonable. The petition is therefore
allowed.
In the result, the Crl.M.C. is allowed.
Condition No.7 in Annexure-B order of the
learned Magistrate shall be modified to the
effect that the petitioner shall obtain a
certified copy and replace the original of the
documents with certified copy and original
documents shall be returned to him.
