The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner had no intention to suppress the factum of the earlier case and that the petitioner has produced the original R.C. book only as per the directions of the learned Principal Sessions Judge, in the order passed in Crl.M.P.No.4600 of 2021, dated 26.10.2021. 5. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. side) would submit that since the R.C. book is not in the custody of the petitioner, he is not in a position to produce the sureties. 6.Considering the above facts and circumstances of the case and also the fact that if the vehicle is kept in open place exposing to sun and rain, the value of the vehicle will be deteriorated and no purpose will be served in keeping the vehicle in custody and that since the R.C. book is not in the custody of the petitioner, he is not in a position to produce the sureties, this Court is inclined to allow the revision and thereby setting aside the impugned order dated 11.04.2022 passed in Crl.M.P.No.1948 of 2022, by the learned Principal Sessions Court, Kanyakumari District at Nagercoil. 7.
