Pavithran vs Mandapam Police Station — 124/2026

Summary The District Munsif Court granted interim custody of a seized Yamaha MT motorcycle (TN 65 AT 9875) to petitioner Pavithran, relying on the Supreme Court's *Sundarabai Ambalal Desai* precedent that seizure photographs are sufficient proof. The court imposed strict conditions: the petitioner must execute a bond of Rs. 60,000 with two sureties of Rs. 30,000 each, submit affidavits confirming non-alteration and non-commission of motor vehicle offences, and produce the vehicle at trial, despite police objections based on the accused's prior dangerous driving and stunt-posting behavior.
