The court allowed the applicant's petition under Section 497 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and ordered release of the seized Royal Enfield Bullet 350 motorcycle to the owner, Dhondiram Dashrath Salunkhe, finding the vehicle no longer required for investigation and that prolonged police custody would cause deterioration. The release was granted on execution of a ₹2,00,000 indemnity bond with conditions that the applicant cannot dispose of, alter, or transfer the vehicle and must produce it as required during trial.
