The court staff and lawyers, who had gone to seize the car, had to return empty-handed as DC Nalin Atul refused to give the keys of his vehicle.

The court's order came in a case of Gangavathi Municipal Corporation officials constructing a road on private land without informing the landowners, Kalmath and Virupakshappa.
