Tukaram Bhikaji Nawale vs Sarkar — 17/2026

Summary The court allowed the petitioner's application to recover gold ornaments (1.5 tolas of gold including two bangles, chain, and eight rings) seized by Akole Police Station under FIR No. 70/2026. While the prosecution argued the items were essential evidence, the court determined the risk of deterioration and unlimited loss to the petitioner outweighed evidentiary concerns, permitting return on conditions including a bond of Rs. 2,00,000 and undertakings not to sell or alter the ornaments and produce them when required.
