My friend named Diwakar Pandey (From Jharkhand) wants to Sell his Tractor. He negotiate with Ramprasad about Tractor & Final deal with him. Diwakar give Tractor's Document to Ramprasad for Transfer on his Name. 
       Meanwhile, Diwakar's Driver was kept by Deputy Forrest Officer, to stolen stone in Forrest area with a Tractor. DFO take away the Tractor with him & given Tractor to Police Station. In Police Station, They Not asked about the Tractor Documents.
     When Ramprasad going to R.T.O. Office for Transfer Tractor on his Name, There is No Legal Case or Pending Loan on Tractor. Because of No Case or No Pending Loan on the Tractor, Tractor was Transfer to  Ramprasad.

1. The tractor belonged to Diwakar on the date of commission of offence alleged, so police could have towed it.

2. Ram Prasad is not liable as he was not the owner on the date of commission of offence.

3. Ram Prasad can recover the tractor in accordance with law as he is the owner thereof.
