Afzal Anwar Pathan vs State thr. Niphd Police Station — 11/2026

Summary: The court allowed the application of Afjal Anvar Pathan under Section 503 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and ordered return of his seized Bajaj Discover Motorcycle (Reg. No. MH-15-FD-1290) upon execution of a Rs. 75,000 indemnity bond. The court found that given the nature of allegations, there was no need to keep the vehicle idle in police custody, as it would deteriorate. The applicant must comply with strict conditions including maintaining the vehicle in original condition, not selling or mortgaging it, producing it for investigation/trial as required, and not using it for any crime—breach of which attracts a Rs. 75,000 penalty to the Government.
