    The court allowed accused Bhupatbhai Mithapara's application under Section 497 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 to recover interim custody of his seized motorcycle (Hero Splendor Plus, Reg. No. GJ-01-PR-2571) in a POCSO case. The judge found that as the registered owner, Mithapara could take custody since the vehicle's prolonged police storage causes deterioration and loss to national assets, and the vehicle wasn't essential for case prosecution. Custody was granted subject to strict conditions: furnishing security bond (1.5x vehicle value), producing original RC Book, not using the vehicle illegally, not transferring it, not modifying it, and producing it on demand until case conclusion. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
