    Court Decision Summary The Chief Judicial Magistrate of Bhuj granted the applicant's petition for temporary custody of a seized Suzuki Swift car (Registration No. GJ-12-FB-7928) under CrPC Section 497, ruling that the applicant is the rightful owner based on submitted RC documents and Aadhar card. The court rejected the police's objection, finding no investigative need for the vehicle and relying on the Supreme Court precedent in Sundarlal Ambalal Desai v. State of Gujarat that prolonged police retention of movable property causes deterioration. The vehicle was ordered released subject to conditions including security deposit, non-transfer undertaking, and production whenever required by court or investigating officer.
