(1) Whenever the seizure of property by any police officer is reported to a
Magistrate under the provisions of this Sanhita, and such property is not produced before
a Criminal Court during an inquiry or trial, the Magistrate may make such order as he thinks
fit respecting the disposal of such property or the delivery of such property to the person
entitled to the possession thereof, or if such person cannot be ascertained, respecting the
custody and production of such property.
(2) If the person so entitled is known, the Magistrate may order the property to be
delivered to him on such conditions (if any) as the Magistrate thinks fit and if such person
is unknown, the Magistrate may detain it and shall, in such case, issue a proclamation
specifying the articles of which such property consists, and requiring any person who may
have a claim thereto, to appear before him and establish his claim within six months from the
date of such proclamation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
