THIS COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING ORDER:

THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.621 of 2015 ORDER:

This Criminal Revision Case is filed by the petitioner challenging the Order, dated 02.01.2015, passed in Crl.M.P.No.4747 of 2014 in Crime No.249 of 2014, by

the Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kalwakurthy, whereby the learned Judge dismissed the application filed by the petitioner for interim custody of cash of Rs.9,500/-, which was seized from the pocket of the petitioner in connection with the offence under Sections 3 and 4 of the Andhra Pradesh Gambling Act. Heard and perused the impugned order.

This Court is of the view that the learned trial Judge rightly observed that even though an amount of Rs.9,500/- was seized from the pocket of the petitioner, the said fact has to be proved only at the time of trial and that if the said amount is kept in the custody of the Court till the disposal of the case, no prejudice would be caused to the petitioner. This Court is also of the view of that in a case of this nature, the amount seized from the accused should be marked as material object and as such, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the order of the Court below. The criminal revision is liable to be dismissed and is accordingly dismissed. The Criminal Revision Case is accordingly dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 01.06.2015 pln
