<h1>Property lost as penalty for crime, breach of duty, or legal violation under various statutes</h1> Forfeiture refers to the loss of rights, privileges, or property due to crime, breach of obligation, or neglect of duty. According to legal dictionaries and judicial precedents, forfeiture constitutes a penalty or punishment imposed for transgression of legal obligations. The term derives from French 'forfaiture' meaning loss of property through violation of duty. Courts have established that forfeiture is punitive in nature, distinguishing it from mere transference of funds. The concept requires that loss or deprivation occurs as consequence of criminal act, offense, or breach of engagement. Various statutes including Criminal Procedure Code and Customs laws recognize forfeiture as penalty mechanism for violations.
