                             W.P.(C) 3730  of  2008

                            Dated: February 4, 2008



                                    JUDGMENT

The petitioner has approached this court on the allegation

that the vehicle belonging to the petitioner has been detained by the

2nd respondent although it is not involved in any criminal offence.

On this basis a direction is sought for the release of the vehicle.

2. On instructions the learned Government Pleader submitted

that for an offence under sec.279 of the IPC, Crime No.782/2008

has been registered by the 2nd respondent involving the petitioner’s

vehicle. In view of this, the basic premise of the petitioner’s

submission before this court is incorrect.

Writ petition is dismissed.

ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE
