Sunita laxman Shinde vs Roha police station — 25/2026

Summary: The court allowed Sunita Shinde's application for release of her seized TVS Scooty, holding that since initial investigation was complete and the Investigating Officer did not require the vehicle for further inquiry, prolonged custody served no purpose. The court relied on Supreme Court precedent that seized property should not be retained longer than absolutely necessary, and released the vehicle to the registered owner subject to conditions including a ₹1,00,000 indemnity bond, undertaking not to sell or transfer without court permission, and production before court as directed.
