Dear Sir
My friend own a tipper. His tipper was caught by MVI and sent to Dy Director Mines (DDM) office for detention. No documentation made for seizure. The MVI has died and the vehicle is inside the campus of DDM Office. when asked DDM to release the vehicle he says he has no document in support of seizure. Advocate notice was served for release of vehicle but no result.
My question is can the DDM be liable for unauthorised detention if yes under which section of law and where to file case.
Can i claim any compensation for illegal detention of vehicle as it may require some maintaince job.
How to release the vehicle?
Thanks
