The court granted the petitioner's application to recover an Oppo A31 mobile phone (seized in FIR 321/2025 at Patoda Police Station under the Mumbai Gambling Act) by ordering its return upon furnishing a bond of ₹10,000 and compliance with specified conditions, including maintaining the phone's physical condition, producing it in court when required, and not using it in any other criminal matter. The court relied on Supreme Court precedent that seized items should not remain in police custody beyond 15 days to one month to prevent deterioration.
