LALA RAM Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) S. N. Saxena, J. Heard the learned counsel for the revisionist and the learned counsel for the opposite parties. A very short question is involved in this revision and therefore with the consent of the learned counsel for the opposite parties. I propose to decide the same today.

(2.) THE dispute relates to a Tractor which was seized and thereafter ordered to be released by the learned Magistrate in favour of its registered owner. THE opposite party Mattu claimed possession of this Tractor with the allegation that he had purchased it from its registered owner. THE proceedings had initiated under Sections 181/192/196/207/208 of the Motor Vehicles Act. Learned Sessions Judge, Jhansi entertained the revision application moved by Mattu and after considering the matter, allowed the revision application and directed the release of the Tractor in favour of him. Aggrieved, Lala Ram preferred this revision application. It is admitted case of the parties that Lala Ram is the registered owner of the Tractor now.

(3.) THE revision application is allowed. THE impugned order/judgment passed by the learned Sessions Judge, Jhansi are set aside while the decision of the learned 1st Additional Munsif Magistrate, Jhansi, dated 5-11-1992 is restored. THE Tractor shall be released in favour of its registered owner.
