3. 17.10.2011. Heard the parties.

This application, under Section 482 of the Code of

Criminal Procedure, has been filed on behalf of the State of

Bihar, against the order dated 14.8.2007 passed by the

Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court No.V, West

Champaran, Bettiah, in Criminal Revision No.240 of 2006/05

of 2007, whereby the Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track

Court No.V, West Champaran, Bettiah, has set aside the order

dated 16.11.2006 passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate,

West Champaran, Bettiah, in Miscellaneous Case No.97 of

2006 and directed him to release the seized truck bearing

Registration No.BR-IG-4972 in favour of the revisionist-
2

opposite party after examining the documents produced by

the revisionist-opposite party on executing a proper

Jimmanama and security bond of Rs.10,000,00/- (Ten lacs)

with a further direction to send a copy of the order to the

Superintendent of Police, Bettiah, West Champaran, for

taking necessary action against the Officer-In-Charge, Bettiah

Mufassil Police Station.

Learned A.P.P. for the State of Bihar has only

challenged the order with regard to the direction of the

revisional court for taking necessary action against the

Officer-In-Charge, Bettiah Mufassil Police Station.

From the impugned order of the Additional Sessions

Judge, Fast Court No.V, West Champaran, Bettiah, dated

14.8.2007 in Criminal Revision No.240 of 2006/05 of 2007, it

appears that the truck bearing Registration No.BR-IG-4972

was standing within the jurisdiction of Bettiah Mufassil

Police Station and the same was seized by the police without

registering the case, which is ordered to be released, and for

that reason the Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Court No.V,

West Champaran, Bettiah, has ordered to send a copy of the

said order to the Superintendent of Police, Bettiah, West

Champaran, for taking necessary action against the Officer-
3

In-Charge, Bettiah Mufassil Police Station.

I find nothing wrong in the impugned order dated

14.8.2007 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Fast

Track Court No.V, West Champaran, Bettiah, in Criminal

Revision No.240 of 2006/05 of 2007, to interfere with the

same in inherent jurisdiction under Section 482 of the Code

of Criminal Procedure.

Accordingly, this application stands dismissed.
