Final Orders / Judgements
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. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
