which (the court), in exercise of the power under the said section, can always release the vehicle and the goods loaded thereon on such bond and surety and with such terms and conditions as it may deem fit and proper, pending final decision in the case. In appropriate cases where in the prosecution report the dimensions, specifications or others features of the vehicle or the loaded goods is also made an issue, the court may take such steps, as may be appropriate, for recording of dimensions, specifications etc. of the vehicle or goods in the presence of the parties, for being referred to in the case later on, before releasing the vehicle and the goods. But in any case the court, in seisin of the matter, must keep in mind that detaining a vehicle and the goods loaded thereon for long may be prejudicial to the interest of the party concerned and he may suffer irreparable damage and loss even if the prosecution is finally dropped against him. Hence, in the circumstances, for the provisional release of vehicle the court must keep in mind the abnormal delay being caused in such matters, although it has to hold a summary proceeding in terms of Section 208 of the Act and, therefore, should exercise its jurisdiction taking into account considerations of equity in the matter, unless the court concerned ensures final conclusion of the proceeding itself in a shortest possible time.
