Chittipolu Sridhar v. The State Of Telangana

HONOURABLE JUSTICE G.SRI DEVI CRL.R.C.No.683 of 2019 JUDGMENT:

This Criminal Revision Case is directed against the Order of the learned Principal Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Devarakonda, dated 23.05.2019 dismissing Crl.M.P.No.58 of 2019 in Crime No.9 of 2019 filed by the revision petitioner/owner of the property under Section 457 Cr.P.C. for return of the Cash of Rs.5,76,000/-.

From a perusal of the impugned order dated 23.05.2019, it reveals that the trial Court dismissed the aforesaid petition filed by the petitioner observing that the cash, which was seized by the Investigating Officer from the possession of the petitioner, was not deposited in the Court. However, during the course of arguments, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that the amount, which was seized by the police, was deposited in the trial Court on 05.07.2019. The same is not disputed by the learned Counsel for the petitioner. In view of the above, this Criminal Revision Case is disposed of directing the revision petitioner to file a fresh application seeking return of the seized cash and in such an event, the learned Magistrate shall consider and dispose of the same, in accordance with law, as early as possible, preferably, within a period of fifteen days from the date of filing of such application.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed. _______________________ JUSTICE G.SRI DEVI 11-07-2019 Gsn
