Shailesh Bhikulal Jaiswal vs State of Maharashtra — 52/2026

Case Summary: Criminal M.A. No. 52/2026 The court allowed Shailesh Jaiswal's application for interim custody of a seized Realmi 7 Pro mobile phone, finding he was the legitimate owner based on purchase documentation. The court reasoned that keeping the property idle at the police station would cause him economic loss and that returning it subject to conditions would not harm the prosecution. Jaiswal was granted custody on executing a ₹25,000 indemnity bond, with strict conditions: he must produce the phone when directed, cannot alter or alienate it, and faces forfeiture of the bond if conditions are breached. The investigating officer must photograph and document the handover via panchanama. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
