file m case before magistrate and pray for release of vehicle also issue show cause notice to concerned PSI/PI or incharge of police station. take help of local lawyer An order received from Magistrate only can release vehicle, of course a NOC shall be required from Police Station concerned - better to first issue show cause Notice to Police Incharge Authority and then take further action in matter.

approach police higher officials and bring to their notice about the illgal act of PC. If no action is taken file private complaint before Magistrate or file application under RTI Act asking the details for impounding the vehicle.

Ground reality. No one will listen. Towing of vehicles is a big business where transport contractors and police collude. When you go to get your vehicle, they will charge you 500 and give you a receipt of 100. It is a daily occurrence throughout India just what the truck operators are paying regularly to RTO/Police on highways for plying the trucks and they don't grudge otherwise the loaded truck will be impounded for days together.

Please go to the parking lot, pay and get the vehicle. If at all and by the time the court orders release of the vehicle, you will get nothing except junk.

I am not encouraging corruption. We live with it.
