BNSS Section 442 | Interim Custody of Seized Vehicle Permitted for Evidentiary Preservation via Videography & Bond : Andhra Pradesh HC
The Andhra Pradesh High Court has ruled that a seized vehicle involved in a criminal case may be released to the owner on bond and undertaking, provided its evidentiary value is preserved through video documentation and strict conditions. This sets a precedent for balancing property rights with prosecutorial needs in traffic-related offenses under the new BNSS framework, affecting police procedure and accused persons’ access to essential assets during trial.
