JUSTICE JONES delivered the opinion of the court:
The State brought this action for the forfeiture of an automobile pursuant to section 36-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1983, ch. 38, par. 36-1). The circuit court of Montgomery County dismissed the State's forfeiture petition, finding that a 12-month delay between the filing and the post-seizure hearing was an unreasonable delay in violation of due process of law.
