Authority: Uttarakhand High Court
Order Date: 15-09-2026
Case Overview
- Parties: Uttarakhand Transport Corporation (revisionist) vs. State of Uttarakhand (respondent).
- The revision challenges the judgment and order dated 17‑08‑2026 issued by the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Roorkee, District Haridwar, in Case No. 1442 of 2021 (State of Uttarakhand vs. Satish).
- The revisionist sought permission to auction a bus bearing registration No. UK 07PA‑3145, which had been rejected by the lower court.
- Counsel for the revisionist argued that the diesel bus, manufactured in 2016, has completed its ten‑year prescribed operational life and is no longer roadworthy.
- The Court, after hearing counsel and reviewing the record, found that allowing the bus to remain parked and decay at the police station would serve no useful purpose.
Final Outcome
- The Court ordered that the bus be taken and preserved before its auction; the chassis number must be duly recorded and preserved before handing the vehicle over to the scrap dealer.
- With these directions, the criminal revision stands disposed of.
