Judgment / Order
28/10/2021
Petitioner has filed this criminal revision petition under
Section 397 read with Section 401 Cr.P.C. to assail the impugned
judgment dated 11.06.2021 passed by Learned Special Judge,
NDPS Cases Falodi, District Jodhpur (for short, 'learned trial
Court') whereby the learned trial Court rejected the application
under Section 457 Cr.P.C., moved by the petitioner for releasing
the Hyundai Verna CRDI EX 1.6 bearing No.RJ 19 CD 2729, Chesis
No.MALCU41ULBM021314, Engine No.D4FBBU977424.
I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned
counsel for the resopndent-State.
Learned counsel for the petitioner, in support of his
arguments, has placed reliance on a decision of the co-ordinate
Bench of this Court rendered at Jaipur Bench in Prakash Chand Vs.
State of Rajasthan reported in 2010(1) Cr.L.R.(Raj.) 507. In the
(2 of 3) [CRLR-869/2021]
aforesaid judgment, the vehicle and other articles were seized
from the accused for carrying contraband of small quantity just
above the commercial quantity. It is in this background, that the
Court has acceded to the prayer of the incumbent and recorded its
finding that solely for the reason that the vehicle and other
articles are likely to be confiscated after trial, conditional release
of the vehicle and other articles on Supurdginama and surety
cannot be denied and interim custody of the vehicle and other
articles can be granted to the incumbent on certain conditions.
Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Sunderbhai Ambalal Desai Vs.
State of Gujarat reported in 2002 (10) SCC 283 and co-ordinate
Bench of this Court at Jaipur Bench in case of Prakash Chand
(supra) has held that conditional release of the vehicle cannot be
denied.
Accordingly, the instant revision petition is allowed and the
order dated 11.06.2021 is hereby quashed and set aside and the
Hyundai Verna CRDI EX 1.6 bearing No.RJ 19 CD 2729, Chesis
