ORDER1. This revision is by the State. It is directed against the order dt. 5-2-1985 of the Special Court, Mysore, in Cri. Misc. No. 15 of 1985. By that order, the Special Court purporting to exercise its power under the provisions contained in Chap. XXXIV of the Cr.P.C., 1973 (the Code) has released the truck in question in favour of the respondents. The order apparently appears to be one under S. 457 of the Code. He could not have invoked the other allied provisions for the reason that there was neither an enquiry nor a trial pending with him for any offence involving the vehicle in question. 2. The vehicle had been seized by this Tahsildar, Mysore, suspecting that it had been used to carry some essential commodity in contravention of the provisions of the Karnataka Rice and Paddy Procurement (Levy) Order, 1983 (the order).
