    Case Summary: 428/2026 - GOPINATH S v. INSPECTOR OF POLICE The court dismissed Gopinath's petition seeking return of his seized Ambassador car (TN-09-M-9009) held as evidence in FIR 705/2023. The vehicle was allegedly used in kidnapping for ransom under IPC sections 294(b), 342, 323, 364(A), and 506(2). The Judicial Magistrate rejected the petition, ruling that returning the car—despite petitioner's ownership—posed a risk of further criminal use, and retention was necessary in the interest of justice given the grave nature of the offense.
