S.T.GOUDAR vs STATE BY LOKAYUKTA POLICE — SLP(Crl) No. 4354/2012

Summary: The Supreme Court allowed S.T. Goudar's appeal against the Karnataka High Court's April 2, 2012 order that had rejected his request to withdraw matured LIC bond amounts from his bank account. Finding the LIC contributions unconnected to other seized deposits and noting the legitimate purpose (daughter's marriage), the Court held no reason to deny access. The appellant was directed to file an application before the trial court for release of the amount, which should be disposed of expeditiously. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
