Smt. Basavva Kom Dyamangouda Patil vs State Of Mysore And Anr. on 19 April, 1977
Referring to Section 451
and 457 of the Code, the Court referred to the decision
rendered in case of Smt. Basavva Kom Dyamangouda Patil v.
State of Mysore [AIR 1977 SC 1749] where the Apex Court
dealt with the case where a seized article were not available
to be returned to the complainant. There the recovered
ornaments had been kept in the trunk in the police station and
later were found missing. The Court held that the seizure of
the property by the police amounts to clear entrustment of the
property to a Government servant and the property should be
restored to the original owner after the necessity to retain it
ceases. There may be two stages where the property may be
returned to the owner. In the first phase, during any inquiry
or trial if the property is subject to speedy and natural decay;
and there may be other compelling reasons which will justify
the disposal of the property to the owner or otherwise, in the
interest of justice. The High Court and the Sessions Court
since had proceeded on the footing that there may be a

requirement of the articles seized to be produced before the
Court during the trial, the Apex Court held that the object
seems to be that any property which is under control of the
Court either directly or indirectly should be disposal off by
the Court and a just and proper order should be passed
regarding disposal of the articles. The police always acts in a
case under the direct control of the Court and hence has to
take the order from it at every stage of inquiry or trial. In
nutshell, it has held that the Court exercises overall control on
the actions of the police officers in every case where it has
taken the cognizance. The Court further held that when the
property is stolen, lost or destroyed and there is no prima
facie defence made out that the State or its officers had taken
due care or caution to protect the property, the Magistrate
may in an appropriate case where ends of justice so require,
order payment of value of the property. Therefore, to avoid
such a situation, the Court held that the powers under Section
451 of the Code shall be exercised promptly and at the
earliest.
