When an inquiry or trial in a Criminal Court is concluded, the Court may issue an order for the disposal of any property or document produced before it or in its custody, or in relation to which an offence appears to have been committed, or that was used in the commission of an offence. The disposal may include destruction, confiscation, delivery to the person claiming entitlement to possession, or any other action the Court deems appropriate.

The Court may order the delivery of property to any person claiming entitlement to it, with or without conditions. If a condition is imposed, the person must execute a bond, with or without sureties, to the satisfaction of the Court, engaging to return the property if the order under Sub-Section (1) is modified or set aside on appeal or revision.

A Court of Session, instead of making an order itself under Sub-Section (1), may direct the property to be delivered to the Chief Judicial Magistrate. The Chief Judicial Magistrate shall then handle the property as provided in sections 457, 458, and 459.

Except in cases where the property is livestock, subject to speedy decay, or where a bond has been executed under Sub-Section (2), an order made under Sub-Section (1) shall not be carried out for two months, or until an appeal is disposed of if an appeal has been filed.

In this section, the term "property" includes, in the case of property related to an offence, not only the property originally in the possession or control of any party but also any property into which the original property has been converted or exchanged, as well as anything acquired through such conversion or exchange, whether immediately or otherwise.
