Order on T.I.

The court rejected Mahesh Yashwant Sathe's application for return of his seized vehicle, holding that once the Forest Officer initiates confiscation proceedings under the Indian Forest Act 1987, the magistrate's jurisdiction is barred and cannot order release of the vehicle. The court found it lacked jurisdiction to entertain the application due to statutory bars under sections 52(c) and 52(d) of the Indian Forest Act. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
