Special POCSO court orders temporary release of car belonging to dance teacher facing trial in minor harassment case

Thane, Feb 14 (UNI) A Special Court under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act in Thane has ordered the temporary return of a seized red Hyundai Verna car to dance teacher Dinesh Vivek Ghag, who is currently facing trial for allegedly following and gesturing to a 14-year-old girl. The order was passed on Saturday, after the court examined the plea filed by the accused seeking interim custody of the vehicle.
Ghag had approached the court under Section 497 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, requesting the release of the car, which had been seized in connection with a case registered at Vartaknagar Police Station. He produced documents including the registration certificate book, insurance papers, Aadhaar card and driving licence to establish ownership of the vehicle.
After hearing submissions from both the prosecution and the complainant, and reviewing their replies, the court observed that, at first glance, the applicant appeared to be the lawful owner of the seized Hyundai Verna.
