Namrsen Bhimrao Dongre vs State of Mah. P.S.Khapa — 25/2026

Summary: The court allowed the applicant's petition and directed the Khapa Police Station to return a seized tractor (Registration No. MH-36-L-3398) to Namrsen Bhimrao Dongre, finding him to be the prima facie owner based on verified registration certificate, Aadhar card, and insurance documents. The court reasoned that keeping seized property at a police station for extended periods risks damage and serves no purpose, citing the Supreme Court's precedent in *Sunderbhai Ambalal Desai v. State of Gujarat*. The release was conditioned on the applicant executing a Rs. 10 lakh indemnity bond and undertaking not to sell, transfer, or alter the vehicle until trial conclusion.
