How to reclaim stolen vehicle which is recovered by police

Hi,

My vehicle was stolen from sector 41 Noida on 24th December 2012 and due to some issues, my FIR was registered at Sector 39 police station on 7th Jaunary 2013. Police gave me the final untrace report with in a month.

After few months, I went to sector 58 police station to register an FIR for some friend, I found that my stolen vehicle was standing there and according to them the vehicle was recovered by police on 5 January(before the FIR was registered and final report was given). I did not get the insurance.

Now I am trying to claim my vehicle but the concerned Investigating Officer is not helping me and making execuses from last 2 months as he has already given the final report. Please help me how can I claim my vehicle as none of the authorities is helping me now.

You must file a petition for recovery of property before the magistrate under whose jurisdiction the vehicle was found. They may ask you to give a surety which is equivalent to the value of the vehicle and then your vehicle will be released. This is a simple procedure and does not take more than 5 days.
