interim custody of the vehicle - As per the entries in the certificate of registration, the petitioner is the registered owner. Allowing the vehicle in the custody of the police, there is every likelihood of the value of the vehicle being diminished. In that view of the matter, I am inclined to release the vehicle bearing No.AP 29T 1662 to the petitioner for interim custody, subject to the following conditions:- 1) The petitioner shall furnish bond for a sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) with two sureties for a like sum each to the satisfaction of XI Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Secunderabad; 2) The petitioner shall place an undertaking before XI Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Secunderabad to the effect that he shall not alienate or encumber the vehicle bearing No. AP 29T 1662; 3) The petitioner shall produce the vehicle before the trial Court as and when directed. 5. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of at the stage of admission.
