IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA CRIMINAL REVISION APPLICATION NO. 37 OF 2008 DAVID ROSENBERG ... Petitioner Versus STATE REPRESENTED BY OFFICER - INCHARGE ANTI NARCOTIC CELL P. S. PANAJI ... Respondent Mr. K. Poulekar, Advocate for the Applicant. Ms. Winnie Coutinho, Public Prosecutor for the Respondent. Coram:- N. A. BRITTO, J. Date:- 7th July, 2008 P.C.:- Heard Mr. K. Poulekar, learned Counsel on behalf of the Applicant/Accused and Ms. Winnie Coutinho, learned Public Prosecutor on behalf of the Respondent/State. The Applicant was accused who has been acquitted under Sections 20(b)(ii)(B) and 22(C) of the N.D.P.S. Act, 1985, by Judgment dated 26-9-2007 of the learned Special Judge, Mapusa. By the same Judgment, the learned Special Judge has ordered that M.O. No.4 i.e. different foreign currencies in different denominations, be forfeited to the Government. This revision is directed against that part of the Order. The learned Special Judge has not mentioned any reason for forfeiting the said currencies in favour of the Government nor any reason is forthcoming on behalf of the Respondent. The learned Counsel on behalf of the accused states that the Indian currency which was in the wallet has been returned to the accused. M. O. No.4 currency, as per panchanama dated 18-1-2006 was in a purse which was hanging around the neck of the accused. In other words, it was found on his person and since the accused has been acquitted there was no reason why the said currency ought to have been forfeited in favour of the Government, unless there were special circumstances. In the light of the above, this revision is bound to succeed. The impugned Order to the extent that it orders M.O. No.4 to be forfeited to the Government is hereby set aside. Consequently, M.O. No.4 shall be returned to the Applicant/Accused. N. A. BRITTO, J. RD.
