Crl.M.C. No. 286 OF 2008
-----------------------------------
Dated this the 6th day of February, 2008
O R D E R
Petitioner, Bincy Babu who claims to be the registered owner
of a Mahindra Jeep bearing registration No.Kl.7. AB.4452,
challenges Annexure A3 order dt.05.12.07 passed by the
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ernakulam dismissing her
application for interim custody of the vehicle.
2. The learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the
petitioner who claims to be the registered owner of the vehicle had
sold the vehicle to one Sri.Shijimon as per agreement dt.12.12.06
and the said Shijimon in turn had sold the vehicle to the 1st
accused Sri.Onasis on 08.03.07 and the vehicle was used by
accused Nos.1 and 2 for illicit transporting of 1.25 Kg. of Ganja.
Since the vehicle is liable to be confiscated under the provisions of
NDPS Act, the court below was not inclined to grant interim
custody of the vehicle. I see no grounds to interfere with the said
order.
The Crl.MC is accordingly dismissed.
