(2.) BRIEF facts for the disposal of the present petition are that in the tractor No. RJ -17 -RA - 3409, stones were being taken and the tractor was seized by the police in FIR No. 228/2010 police station Aklera. An application under Section 457 Cr.P.C. was moved before the learned trial court for release of the tractor on supardginama. The learned trial court vide its order dated 18.6.2010 ordered to release the vehicle imposing a condition to furnish bank guarantee of Rs. 4,50,000/ - and supardginama in the like amount. The petitioner having felt aggrieved preferred revision petition before the learned revisional court but without any success as the revision petition was dismissed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Aklera on 22.6.2010. Hence, the present petition has been filed. It has been the contention of the learned Counsel that the condition imposed by the learned trial court regarding furnishing of bank guarantee is too harsh and in such type of matters, this Court has modified the orders in relation to the imposition of condition of furnishing bank guarantee.
