LAKSHMANA RAO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No:280/2025 ORDER: The Criminal Petition has been filed under Sections 438 and 442 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for brevity ‘the BNSS’), challenging the condition imposed by the learned I Additional District and Sessions Judge, Nellore on 28.02.2025 in Crl.M.P.No.296 of 2024 in Cr.No.73 of 2023 of Sullurpet Police Station for release of the vehicle the Petitioner shall pay Rs. 10,00.000/- with one surety to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Sullurpet. Learned Counsel for the Petitioner submits that the vehicle is old one and as per the insurance certificate the value of the vehicle was shown at Rs.2,00,00/-. The vehicle is 2009 making Innova car, it does not have the value not more than Rs.2,00,000/- and hence urged to reduce the value of the surety. 2. 3.
