Joshi, learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned AC to GA-III. 2. In this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for a direction upon the respondent nos. 2 & 3 to take action against the respondent no. 5, who had illegally detained the petitioner for five days and had also illegally seized the motor- cycle of the petitioner. 3. It appears from the submissions advanced by the learned counsel for the respective parties that there is a tumultuous relationship between the petitioner and his wife, and in fact from the action taken report submitted by DLSA Secretary Jamtara, based on the report of the Officer-in- charge, of Jamtara P.S, it appears that the motor-cycle in question was handed over to the wife of the petitioner. 4. Mr. Joshi, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the only grievance at present is that the motor- cycle is still lying in the police station premises and direction may be given for release of the said motor-cycle in his favour. ( 2026:JHHC:12155 ) 5. However, considering the fact that as per the report of the DLSA, Secretary, Jamtara, the motorcycle has already been released in favour of the wife of the petitioner with whom the petitioner does not share a cordial relationship, such submissions advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner cannot be accepted. 6. Consequently, this writ petition stands disposed of. (Rongon Mukhopadhyay, J.) Dated, the 24th April, 2026 Abha/ Uploaded on 30th April, 2026
