Getting your seized two-wheeler back after a drink and drive offense in India involves legal and procedural steps, primarily through the court system. The police are empowered under Section 207 of the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019 to impound a vehicle.  Next Steps Cooperate with the Police: Remain calm and cooperative. You should have received a seizure memo (or challan) which is essential for the next steps. This document will note the police station where your vehicle Appear in Court: The police will file a charge sheet (report) with the jurisdictional Magistrate's court, typically within three days of the seizure. Your lawyer will help you file an application in the court for the interim release of your vehicle under the relevant section of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), such as Section 451 and 457 of CRPC You will be given a court date. Pleading guilty to the offense often results in the case being disposed of the same day with a fine. The judge will issue a court order for the release of the vehicle.

To release property (like a vehicle, documents, or electronic items) from court custody after paying a fine, you must follow a specific judicial procedure. This process is generally governed by Section 451 (during trial) or Section 452 (after trial) of the CrPC (now Section 503/504 of the BNSS).
