Arjuns Hanumant Ghonse vs The State of Maharashtra — 7/2026

The court allowed Arjun's application for interim custody of his seized Moto-G.85 mobile phone, finding he had established ownership through documentary evidence (bill and affidavit) and the prosecution did not contest ownership. The court ordered return of the device upon furnishing an Rs. 8,000 indemnity bond, with conditions that Arjun cannot alter or dispose of the phone until the underlying crime (Maharashtra Prohibition Act violation) is finally disposed and must produce it when required.
