    Case Summary: CWJC/5477/2026 The Patna High Court allowed Sanyukta Singh's writ petition seeking release of her stolen scooter that was seized during a liquor trafficking case. The court held that since the scooter was stolen from the petitioner's parking lot (with CCTV evidence of unknown miscreants), recovered during a liquor operation, and the petitioner was found uninvolved in both the theft and liquor transportation, the vehicle cannot be confiscated. The Confiscating Authority was directed to release the scooter without penalty within one week upon submission of the petitioner's application. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
