No court shall release a motor vehicle involved in an accident resulting in death or bodily injury or damage to property, when such vehicle is against third party risks unless and until the registered owner furnishes sufficient security to the satisfaction of the court to pay compensation.

seizer of vehicle in case of accident is understood, but what about the material loaded in truck as the nature of cargo is courier and same has no role in accident. Someone told that there is one judgement of supreme Court that in case vehicle met with accident, vehicle should be seized not the cargo, cargo should be allowed to tranship further in another vehicle. Can you our pls clarify me on it.

Except where the property is livestock or is subject to speedy and natural decay, or where a bond has been executed in pursuance of subsection (2), an order made under sub- section (1) shall not be carried out for two months, or when an appeal is presented, until such appeal has been disposed of.
