MORE HARDEEK JETHABHAI vs POLICE INSPECTOR NAWAPUR POLICE STATION — 39/2026

Order on Exhibit

Case Summary: 39/2026 Court Decision: The court granted the petitioner More Hardeek Jethabhai's petition to recover an EICHER PRO vehicle (Reg. No. GJ-11/VV-5400, Engine No. E426CDTE531984, Chassis No. MC2CBMRC0TE133786) that was seized by Nawapur Police Station in connection with an animal cruelty investigation. The court ordered interim custody of the vehicle be given to the petitioner upon furnishing a security bond of ₹10,00,000 (ten lakhs rupees), with conditions that the vehicle not be transferred, modified, or used in any illegal activity until the case concludes. Key Reasoning: The court found that the vehicle belongs to the petitioner and is essential to his livelihood. Citing the Supreme Court precedent in Sunrelal Ambalal Desai v. Gujarat State, the court held that seized property should be returned to the owner with appropriate safeguards when investigation is pending, particularly where continued seizure causes hardship without advancing the investigation. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
