    Summary The Rajkot Special Court (POCSO) granted the petitioner's application for return of seized property—an Ashok Leyland Tipper truck (Registration: GJ-13-AE-7492)—that was confiscated during a criminal investigation. The court found the petitioner to be the registered owner and determined that releasing the vehicle conditionally would serve the interests of justice, relying on precedent that mineral-related offenses are compoundable. The truck was ordered returned subject to strict conditions, including photography documentation, prohibition on sale or transfer, and restrictions against using it for illegal purposes.
