Rajasthan High Court holds that issuing arrest warrants solely because a defendant's counsel obtained certified copies violates due process. The court converted the arrest warrant to a bailable warrant, reinforcing judicial safeguards against procedural arbitrariness in criminal trials.
The Rajasthan High Court affirmed that petitioners may invoke Section 528 BNSS to challenge interlocutory orders tainted by abuse of power, even when a statutory revision remedy exists. This reinforces that inherent jurisdiction is not ousted by procedural alternatives when justice is at stake - a critical safeguard for parties facing arbitrary dispossession or procedural manipulation in pending civil disputes.
Rajasthan High Court rules that authorities cannot retain both the vehicle and deposit amount when release is not effected, ordering refund of Rs. 8,20,000 with bank interest. The judgment reinforces that administrative compliance does not entitle the state to unjust enrichment, setting a precedent for excise and police coordination failures.
Rajasthan High Court rules that vehicles seized for mining violations cannot be released on supurdaginama if confiscation proceedings are pending. Release is permitted only if no proceedings are initiated, ensuring procedural fairness for vehicle owners while balancing state enforcement powers.
The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that seized mining vehicles can only be released either after compounding with penalty payment or if no confiscation proceedings have been formally launched by the mining department. Supurdaginama - a personal bond for interim custody - is invalid for such vehicles once confiscation proceedings are underway, reinforcing state authority under mining statutes and protecting public revenue interests.
