Summary The court allowed the applicant's application under Section 503 of the BNSS 2023 to recover his seized mobile phone. The court found the applicant established ownership through mobile bills and reasoned that prolonged police custody risked property deterioration without serving investigative purposes. The mobile was released on an indemnity bond of Rs. 20,000 with strict conditions: the applicant cannot sell, modify, or transfer it without court permission, must preserve it, produce it when directed, and cannot use it for gambling activities.
