VERSUS

The Officer in Charge, Police Station Division No. 5, Ludhiana ... RESPONDENT

MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH:

1. 1. The Property. The Applicant is the registered owner of Maruti Swift car, white, registration No. PB10 AB 1234, chassis No. MA3EWDE1S00123456, engine No. K12MN1234567 (the Property). Ownership is shown by the registration certificate in my name, the insurance policy and the purchase invoice.

1. 2. The seizure. The police seized the Property on 1 April 2026 in connection with FIR No. 214 dated 3 August 2026, Police Station Division No. 5, Ludhiana. The case is under investigation and no challan has yet been filed. The Property is now at the yard of Police Station Division No. 5, Ludhiana.

1. 3. The Applicant. The Applicant is not an accused in the case.

1. 4. Why release is sought. I use the car to take my husband to dialysis three times a week, and it is deteriorating in the open yard in the sun and rain. The Applicant submits that the Property can be photographed, inspected and its particulars recorded, and that the Applicant can be directed to produce it whenever the Court requires, so that its release does not prejudice the investigation or the trial.

1. 5. Undertaking. If the Property is released to the Applicant on superdari, the Applicant undertakes (a) not to sell, transfer, mortgage, alter or part with the Property, (b) to produce it before the Court or the police whenever called upon, (c) to keep it in the same condition, and (d) to furnish the bond and surety that the Court directs.

1. 6. Earlier applications. No earlier application has been made. I asked the investigating officer on 20 August 2026, who said the Court must order the release.

1. 7. Affidavit and enclosures. This application is supported by the Applicant's affidavit, which follows it. Enclosed: copies of the registration certificate, the insurance policy and the seizure memo.

PRAYER

It is therefore most respectfully prayed that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to:

(a) release the Property to the Applicant on superdari, on such bond and surety as the Court directs;

(b) direct that the Property be photographed and an inventory of it prepared before it is released; and

(c) pass any other order that the Court considers just.
