SHANKAR SINGH Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) BY this petition the petitioner has challenged the order of learned Sessions Judge, Rajasamand by which he confirmed the order of learned Magistrate, Railmagra and refused to release the vehicle on 'supurdginama'.

(2.) LEARNED counsel for the petitioner submitted that this Court in various decisions has held that the vehicle should not be kept at the police stations and should ordinarily be released on 'supurdginama' as there is no arrange­ment to keep the vehicles in good condi­tions at police stations. He has, therefore, prayed that the vehicle may be released.

(3.) THE petitioner is the owner of the truck. If the police could noi be apprehend the driver of the truck or could not ap­prehend the Maruli Car, it shows the slack-ness of the police itself. The truck should not be allowed to be wasted while lying at the police station as it will amount to na­tional loss. Admittedly, there is no arran­gement at the police station to park and keep in good condition.
