#supurdginama

The Madhya Pradesh High Court ordered the release of a seized truck to its lawful owner pending trial, recognizing that prolonged police custody of heavy machinery risks irreversible depreciation. This ruling affirms that property preservation under Section 528 BNSS extends beyond mere ownership to include economic value protection, especially where fraud undermines title and trial delays are inevitable.

Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that vehicles registered to non-accused owners must be released on supurdginama under the NDPS Act unless connivance is proven. The judgment sets clear conditions for interim release, preventing indefinite seizure of assets belonging to innocent third parties.

Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that permanent vehicle seizure under the NDPS Act is unjustified without evidence linking the owner to the crime. The court ordered the release of the vehicle on supurdginama, emphasizing that mere ownership does not establish culpability and prolonged custody violates property rights.
