Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) police on January 26, 2024, impounded around 41 supercars, stating that the owners violated prohibitory orders in the area till February 3. After the incident, the owners of the luxury and exotic cars seized were frustrated and alleged that the police had failed to inform them about the prohibitory orders or the lack of permission. They have now approached the court, and the Bombay High Court has now asked BKC police to release 31 supercars seized by the cops.
The case was handled by a bench, which included Justice Anuja Prabhudessai and NR Borkar. The bench ordered the police department to release the cars and stated that the action taken by the police lacked sufficient legal basis and mentioned that the FIR was registered after seizing the supercars, including Lamborghinis and Ferraris. The event was organized by an event management firm, and publicity related to the same was done on social media platforms too. The tickets for the same were sold via the online ticketing portal “Bookmyshow.”
The event took place at Jio World Drive mall. The rally was supposed to start at around 6 am from Jio World Drive mall and go towards the recently inaugurated Mumbai Trans Harbour Link and back. The police took action after the cars assembled. The car owners petitioned the Bombay High Court to cancel FIR after police officers refused to release the cars.
Lawyer Aabad Ponda appeared for the car owners, argued in front of the bench that the FIR filed by the cops was an afterthought after the cops had a verbal conflict with one of the car owners. The lawyer also highlighted that there were discrepancies in the notices issued to the owners by the cops. Initially, the notice accused the car owners of improper documentation and later linked the police action with unauthorized modifications on cars. The lawyer stated that this was an abuse of power.
The Bombay High Court seemed to have agreed with the arguments put forward by the car owner’s lawyer. The court even asked the police department why prior notices were not issued to the car owners in connection with the vehicles. The other party in this case continued to justify police action and said that the gathering for the rally was illegal, and police took the action considering Republic Day security. The rally was expected to see the participation of at least 100 supercars. The Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) police seized 41 vehicles and booked 43 individuals, including the organizers, for violating the order.
Most of the owners were from Bandra, Khar, and Andheri regions. The owners along with the organizers were booked under Section 188 (deliberate disobedience of an order promulgated by a public servant) and relevant sections of the Maharashtra Police Act 1951. The seized cars were parked at the Jio World Drive. The cops had asked the owners of these cars to get their vehicles back after paying fines and in accordance with court proceedings. The cops seized cars worth hundreds of crores in just this one event. This is probably the first incident reported in India where so many supercars were seized by cops at once.
