[paragraph-9, Alla China Apparao and others vs. State of Andhra Pradesh -
AIR 2002 SC 3648]. The meaning of the word 'forthwith' is
synonymous of the word immediately, which means with all
reasonable quickness, speed and expedition, prompt time with a
sense of urgency, without any unavoidable delay. No hard and fast
rule can be laid nor a particular period be prescribed.

has intimated the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate through e-mail on
08.09.2020 and in W.P.No.15056 of 2020, the Police Officer
ordered freezing of bank account on 18.06.2020 and he has
intimated the jurisdictional Magistrate on 05.10.2020. From
March, 2020 the entire world is confronted with pandemic. Police
have played key role in enforcing orders/guidelines of the
Government of India and the State Government to prevent spread
of the virus, sacrificing their life for the cause of humanity. The
attention of entire police force is diverted to enforce
orders/guidelines to prevent spread of virus and they are still
involved in this exercise. It is an extraordinary circumstance.
During this period, it is possible to keep aside certain aspects of
police functioning, and pay special attention on pandemic related
aspects. Thus, in these extraordinary circumstances, some
leniency can be shown to the action of Police in not reporting the
seizure to the concerned Magistrates immediately after the seizure.
As the term 'forthwith' has 'elastic import' [Keshav Nilkanth
Joglekar (supra)], and in the peculiar fact situation, the time taken
to report to the concerned Magistrates can be said as reasonable
and without undue delay.
