The Court treated that embargo as having the force of law and declined to use inherent powers to order immediate return of seized gold bars already marked as material exhibits. It also noted that redemption fine had been paid and that the gold bars could not be forfeited to the State at the end of trial. The criminal case was directed to be concluded expeditiously, with final disposal of the gold bars to be made in accordance with law. en-us Mon, 16 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 11:56:51 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=190501 Rule 170 of the Calcutta High Court Criminal (Subordinate Courts) Rules, 1985 bars return or destruction of articles admitted in evidence until the appeal is disposed of, or, if no appeal is filed, until six months after expiry of the appeal period, subject to section 452 CrPC.
