Dipak Nutan Thakkar vs State of Maharashtra Through P.S.O. Ashti Advocate - APP — 43/2026

The court allowed Deepak Nutan Thakkar's application for release of his seized OnePlus 7 Pro mobile phone under section 503 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. The court found that although the phone was seized in a cybercrime case (involving alleged cheating of Rs. 44,45,500), the Investigating Officer's explanation confirmed the device was not required for data collection, and the phone would deteriorate if kept unused at the police station. The court ordered release of the mobile upon execution of a Rs. 10,000 indemnity bond, with conditions that the applicant cannot sell, transfer, or use it further in any offense, and must produce it whenever required during trial.
