HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHENDAR KUMAR GOYAL

Order

27/01/2021

1. All these petitions relate to the prayer for release of tractors

and trolleys, which have been seized by the Police

Authorities/Mining Authorities/Forest Officials for various reasons

including carrying "bazri", by way of illegal mining in Rajasthan

and selling out the same etc. and have been filed against the

order passed by the concerned Magistrate whereby application

under Section 451 & 457 Cr.P.C for releasing of tractor and trolley

was rejected and in some cases affirmed in revision also and

therefore, the same are being heard together.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioners relying upon the

judgments passed by this court in S.B. Criminal Misc. Petition No.

2723/2019 (Asharam & Ors. Vs. State of Rajasthan &

connected misc. petitions) decided by common order dated

3.2.2020, S. B. Criminal Misc. (Petition) NO.2687/2020 (Nandlal

Vs. State of Rajasthan) decided on 1.10.2020, in the case of

Nathulal Vs. State of Rajasthan (S.B. Criminal Misc. Petition

No.2755/2020) decided on 1.10.2020, which also took into

consideration the interim order passed in PIL "Khem Singh Vs.

State of Rajasthan", (D.B.Civil Writ Petition NO.4239/2019)

as well as judgment passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the

case of Sunderbhai Ambalal Desai & Ors. Vs. State of Gujrat:

(2002) 10 SCC 283, submitted that the vehicles be released on

appropriate terms and conditions.

3. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed these criminal misc.

petitions.

(3 of 6) [CRLMP-5826/2020]

4. The issue is no more res-integra in light of judgments passed

by this Court in cases of Asharam (supra), Nandlal (supra),

Nathulal (supra), Khem Singh (supra) and judgment of

Hon'ble the Supreme Court of India in case of Sunderbhai

Ambalal Desai (supra).

5. Keeping in view the law as noticed herein above and the fact

that no confiscation order has been passed till date for illegal

mining and that the imposition of fine or penalty would be on the

person (owner) and not on the vehicle, this court is inclined to

follow the view taken in Asharam's case (supra).

6. Accordingly, these petitions are allowed and the orders

impugned herein passed by the learned Court below are quashed

and set aside. The tractor and trolley as mentioned in these

petitions as per Schedule-A annexed to this order shall be

released as per the conditions laid down in Para 14(a) to (f) of

Asharam's case (supra).

7. However, it is made clear that if vehicle(s) has been

confiscated under the relevant provisions of the Act, then said

vehicle(s) shall not be released by the concerned Magistrate

keeping in view of law laid down in the case of Laxman Versus

State of Rajasthan: DB Criminal Misc. Petition No.60/2018

decided on 6.4.2018.

8. In view thereof, all these criminal misc. petitions are allowed

with aforesaid directions.
