Confiscation of gold jewellery lacked required procedural safeguards and statutory notices, so the State held a duty to preserve seized property intact as a bailee pending final adjudication; failure to follow seizure, inventory and disposal provisions and omission of prescribed notices vitiated the confiscation, entitling the owner to return or compensation.
