Quick Summary: A lorry was taken by authorities for allegedly carrying government-subsidized rice illegally. The court has now decided to let it go, but with some conditions.
In a case brought by Ghoghari Ismail Bhai Nathu Bhai, the court was asked to look into the taking of his lorry. The vehicle, with license plate number GJ-27-TG-0019, was taken by the authorities in Telangana for allegedly transporting government-subsidized rice illegally in 2025.
Judge T. Madhavi Devi listened to the case. Ghoghari Ismail Bhai Nathu Bhai's lawyer mentioned that in a similar case last year, the court had allowed the release of a vehicle with some conditions. They hoped for the same result this time.
The other side included various government officials from the Civil Supplies Department and the police. They did not argue against Ghoghari Ismail Bhai Nathu Bhai’s request, which helped move the case along smoothly.
Judge T. Madhavi Devi decided to let the lorry go, but with conditions. Ghoghari Ismail Bhai Nathu Bhai must provide a bank guarantee of ₹25,000 and promise not to sell or change the vehicle until the confiscation process is finished. This process is under Section 6-A of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955.
"The release of the vehicle shall be subject to the outcome of the confiscation proceedings."
The court made it clear that this order does not end the case completely. The final decision will depend on the result of the ongoing confiscation process. There were no costs ordered, and any other applications related to this case were closed.
Judge T. Madhavi Devi's order was given on November 11, 2025, with instructions to release the official copy by November 12, 2025.
