In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh Crl. Revision No. 1053 of 2001 Date of decision: February 13, 2009 Subhash Chander ... Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab and another ... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: None for the petitioner. Ms. Simsi Dhir, AAG, Punjab. A.N. Jindal, J Having perused the records, it transpires that vide recovery memo dated 30.9.1998, the articles in question were recovered from the house of Kuldeep Kumar. It was observed in case Daljit Singh vs. State of Haryana, 1989 (2) RCR 158 that if some articles are recovered by the police from a person, such a person is presumed to be owner of the articles unless somebody else with a better title claims the articles and in returning the articles to a person from whom these were recovered, no proof of ownership is required. As such, the trial court, as well as the appellate court returned the articles to Kuldeep Kumar from whose possession the same were taken. Hence, finding no merit in the revision petition, the same is dismissed. However, the petitioner is relegated to the remedy of civil court to get his title to the articles established.
