The prayer in this writ petition is to direct the respondent to
release the vehicle bearing Reg. No. KL 29-6135. On instruction,
the learned Govt. Pleader submits that the Sub Inspector of Police,
Kayamkulam, had seized the vehicle on 19.1.2008 and recovered
more than 3 litres of IMFL from the vehicle and registered a case as
CR. No. 20/08. It is stated that the vehicle was produced before
the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kayamkulam on 20.1.2008 and
under the orders of the learned Magistrate, the vehicle is kept in
police custody.
2. If the vehicle is kept under the orders of the court in
relation to the criminal case, which is under investigation, and the
registered owner of the vehicle seeks custody of the same, he has to
approach the court concerned and get appropriate orders.
