2. The petitioner's prayer came to be rejected by the learned Magistrate on the ground that the vehicle was already involved in a similar offence while transporting m-sand and interim custody was handed over to the petitioner on the condition that he shall not use the vehicle for any illegal activities and yet the petitioner was found transporting sand in violation of the earlier condition.
3. This Court finds no infirmity whatsoever in the impugned order passed by the learned Magistrate.
4. Hence, the Revision is dismissed. 28-09-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No TSG To
