    Court Summary The Ratnagiri Judicial Magistrate (First Class) Court granted Mahesh Dagdu Gurv's petition under Section 503 of the Indian Code of Criminal Procedure, ordering the return of his wife's gold mangalsutra (55 grams with black beads) seized during a theft investigation, upon furnishing a bond of ₹3,50,000. The court rejected the prosecution's objections regarding weight discrepancies and lack of original purchase bill, noting that long-retained seized articles should not be unnecessarily withheld and citing Supreme Court precedent that such property must be released on appropriate conditions to the rightful owner.
