Reading: My friend was caught by the Deputy Forest Officer for allegedly transporting stolen stones in a forest area using his tractor. The DFO confiscated the tractor and handed it over to the police station. Now, my friend wants to get his tractor back. I have a few questions: 1. What kind of penalty or punishment can my friend expect in this situation? 2. What is the procedure for retrieving the tractor from the police station? 3. Whom should we approach to resolve this matter?

The penalty for transporting stolen stones in a forest area can range from fines to imprisonment, depending on the value of the stones and the severity of the offense. To retrieve the tractor, your friend should approach the police station with relevant documents proving ownership and file a formal application for release. If the police refuse to release the tractor, your friend should consult a lawyer and consider filing a writ petition in the High Court.
