HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR BHARWANI Order 10/03/2025 This Criminal Writ Petition has been filed by the petitioner against the impugned order dated 30.01.2025 passed by District Collector, Deeg, in Application No. lqiqnZxh xkSoa’k/157/2024, whereby the learned Collector has partly allowed the application and ordered to release the seized Bolero Pick-up No.RJ-05-GC-4491 on “Supurdagi” provided that the petitioner shall deposit the fine of Rs.6,50,000/- in the treasury within 30 days from the date of order, failing which the vehicle-in-question was directed to be confiscated automatically. [2025:RJ-JP:10633] (2 of 2) [CRLW-295/2025] Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the registered owner of the vehicle in question. The seized vehicle is required by the petitioner for his personal use. The Collector although has released his vehicle in question on “supurdagi” but imposed the fine of Rs.6,50,000/-. The petitioner is a poor person, hence the impugned order be modified and the aforesaid amount of fine imposed upon the petitioner may be waived/exempted. Learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State has opposed the same. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the relevant material on record. Taking into consideration the facts & circumstances of the case, impugned order dated 30.01.2025 passed by the learned Collector is modified. The fine of Rs.6,50,000/- imposed by the Collector upon the petitioner is waived/exempted. Rest part of the order dated 30.01.2025 shall remain the same. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. Pending application(s), if any, stand(s) disposed of. (VINOD KUMAR BHARWANI),J SAURABH /11
