CRR No.3361 of 2010(O & M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH ***** CRR No.3361 of 2010 (O & M) Date of decision : 18.7.2011 Rahul Jain ........Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .......Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA Present:- Mr.Sanjay Jain, Advocate, for the petitioner Mr.Manoj Bajaj, Addl.AG, Punjab --- AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) : This petition challenges order dated 9.9.2010 vide which Additional Sessions Judge, Patiala has dismissed the application filed by the petitioner for release of jewellery on superdari. The reasons for which application has been dismissed have been recorded in paras 8 & 9 of the order that read as under - “Perusal of the various purchase bills produced on record shows that description of the jewellery is not mentioned in the bills. Ex.AW-8 is the bill dated 1.1.2008 showing the purchase of diamond ornaments weighing 834.350. The description of the gold ornaments is not mentioned in the said bill. Similarly, Ex.AW9 is another bill issued by Sant Ram Mangat Ram regarding purchase of gold ornaments 22 karat. Only the gross weight is mentioned in the retail invoice, but the description of the gold ornaments is not given. The gold ornaments are case property which are alleged to have been recovered from the accused. It is deposited in safe custody with the Govt. Treasury Patiala as per the CRR No.3361 of 2010(O & M) -2- orders of the ACJM Patiala. Till a conclusive proof of ownership of the said articles is given, these articles cannot be released on sapurdari to the applicant during the pendency of the trial. Hence, the present application stands dismissed. Papers be tagged with the main file.” The jewellery itself is not perishable item. The bills/receipts produced do not indicate the description of the ornaments. In such circumstances, I am of the considered opinion that the reasons assigned by the lower Court are reasonable and in accordance with law which call for no interference by this Court in revisional jurisdiction. The petition is dismissed. (AJAI LAMBA) JUDGE 18.7.2011 akm
