    Case Summary: Crl.M.P.No.113/2026 Court Decision: The Judicial Magistrate allowed Thamizhagan's petition and granted him interim custody of the seized JCB vehicle (Reg. No. TN-32-AC-1099), finding him to be the absolute registered owner. The court reasoned that prolonged police custody diminishes vehicle utility and accepted the Supreme Court's precedent requiring magistrates to release seized vehicles with appropriate safeguards. Conditions: Release was granted subject to: (1) Rs. 10 lakh bond with two sureties; (2) deposit of original RC book; (3) photographs/CD of all sides; (4) undertaking to produce vehicle as required; and (5) undertaking not to alienate or encumber the vehicle until case disposal.
