Vehicle Release Lawyer in Jajpur

A vehicle held by police in Jajpur district is not automatically released — what has to happen first?

The police must report the seizure to the jurisdictional Magistrate under Section 503 BNSS if the vehicle is not already produced before a court. After that, release is decided only through a formal application, generally a Section 497 BNSS interim custody application, not by informal request at the police station.

Which Magistrate's court handles a vehicle seizure case in Jajpur?

What if the vehicle seized in Jajpur is suspected to be involved in the underlying offence itself, not just present at the scene?
