S T Goudar S/O Thippanna Hanumappa vs State By Police Inspector on 23 August, 2019
I have carefully gone
through the decision in the case of Laxman vs The
State of Karnataka (quoted supra). In that case laptop
has been seized as it having been used in the
counterfeiting the notes. After acquittal, the learned
Sessions Judge without conducting any inquiry
proceeded to confiscate the said laptop. In that light, the
said order was set aside and laptop was returned to
claimant as there were no other rival claimants. In that
light, it helps the case of claimants rather than
respondents. In that light, the contention taken up by
the learned Special Public Prosecutor is liable to be
rejected.
