Case Summary: 114/2026 Court Decision: The court granted the petitioner Haja Vashrambhai Khunti's application for interim release of seized gold jewelry (comprising six pieces totaling approximately 230 grams of 20-22 carat gold), ruling that prolonged police custody poses risk of damage to the articles. The jewelry was released to the petitioner under bail conditions, requiring him to furnish security equivalent to double the jewelry's value and comply with specified undertakings (non-transfer, production on demand, preservation of condition). Key Reasoning: The court noted that the petitioner had identified the items as his own stolen property, the investigating officer recommended release, and there was no necessity for continued police custody. Applying Supreme Court precedent from Sundarbhai Ambalal Desai v. State of Gujarat, the court held that indefinite retention of jewelry in police station was unjustifiable and ordered conditional interim custody release pending case conclusion.
