Order The bicycle in this case was undoubtedly used for committing the offence under the Madras Prohibition Act (X of 1937), and therefore in terms of section 13 of that Act it was properly confiscated by the Magistrate. The circumstances under which that cycle came to be lent to the accused by the petitioner before us are neither here nor there. It is certainly open to the petitioner to take appropriate proceedings against the accused for reimbursement of the cycle which, according to him, was lent for one purpose and has been found to be used for another purpose, viz., for committing the offence under the Madras Prohibition Act of 1937. In fact it is only on account of the availability of the facilities by hiring out these vehicles that illicit liquor is practically sold like milk in various parts of Madras. Therefore, the Magistrates must vigorously put down, the prohibition offences by confiscating the vehicles used for the purpose. The order passed is. thoroughly proper, and I confirm it and dismiss this petition. K.C. ----- Petition dismissed.
