    Summary The Principal District & Sessions Judge, Coimbatore dismissed the criminal revision petition filed by Devaraj (car owner) seeking return of a seized Tata Safari vehicle. The court found that the petitioner had previously filed an identical petition (CMP No.9401/2025) which was dismissed, but failed to disclose this fact in the second petition (CMP No.11668/2025), thereby approaching the court without "clean hands." Additionally, the court noted a cloud over the vehicle's ownership and concerns about its connection to ongoing criminal investigations. The petition was dismissed with a cost of Rs.5,000 payable to the District Legal Services Authority. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
