Prashant Candrakant Aru vs State Through Police Station Washim Rural Advocate - Assistant Public Prosecutor — 50/2026

Case Summary: 50/2026 Court Decision: The court granted petitioner Prashant Candrakant Aru's application under CrPC §497 and §503 (2023) for release of his seized red LMV trolley (registration MH-28-E-8815, chassis VFW.821.01.2014, valued at ₹5,00,000) in case FIR 173/2026 under IPC §303(2). The court ordered return of the trolley on an interim basis against a ₹5,00,000 security bond, with conditions that the petitioner maintain the vehicle's original condition and produce it whenever required by the court. Key Reasoning: The investigator consented to release, no other claimant existed for the trolley, petitioner demonstrated ownership documentation, and retention by police risked vehicle deterioration. The trolley was essential for petitioner's agricultural business. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
