MP 1 APPA807_11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.807 OF 2011 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.513 OF 2006 Ramdev Maliram Jethia ... Applicant Versus State of Maharashtra and another ... Respondents Mr. Abhishek Yerde, Advocate for the Applicant. Mr. Y. S. Shinde, APP for the Respondent No.1 State. Mr. D. N. Salvi, Special P.P. for the Respondent No.2 CBI. CORAM : J. H. BHATIA, J. DATE : 08TH NOVEMBER 2011 P. C. : Heard. 2. The applicant, who was an employee of National Insurance Company Limited, was prosecuted and tried for the offences under the Prevention of Corruption Act on the ground that he had acquired disproportionate assets. By this application, the applicant seeks directions that all the property which was seized during the search operation conducted on 25.06.1993 be now returned to him and also that all the share certificates as per the list, exhibit-D be also returned to him. 3. The applicant was convicted and his appeal is pending. In view of the nature of offence, at this stage, the property seized during the search operation cannot be returned to him merely because he is now 77 years old citizen. Learned Special Public Prosecutor for C.B.I. made a suggestion that the share certificates shown in the list, exhibit-D may be directed to be converted into D- mat form for the purpose of proper accounting and accretion of the same. In my opinion, that is a proper suggestion. MP 2 APPA807_11 4. The share certificates as per exhibit-D be converted into D-mat form after completing necessary formalities and all the profits, bonus, dividend, dividend shares, etc. be also retained with the said shares but will not be allowed to be transferred nor any amount out of it shall be allowed to be withdrawn till the order of this Court, which may be passed in the appeal filed by the present applicant. 5. Application stands disposed of accordingly. (J. H. BHATIA, J)
