Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) has issued a notice to City Police and Rural Police to deposit recovered property, including gold and silver ornaments and cash, with the court within 10-days of its seizure. The order of CJM came after observing that recovered valuables were being stolen from police stations and currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 were not replaced with new notes during demonetization period. The court also observed that the cops were depositing seized cash in the private bank accounts which is the violation of Treasury Rules.
CJM Ratnakar Salgaonkar given seven-point agenda for the police department and ordered them to follow it in letter and spirit. Referring to its observation, the circular said, “In all under investigation, chargesheet filed cases, the police should deposit recovered cash with the court before April 30, 2019. In future, the police will have to deposit all the recovered valuables with the court within 10-days of its seizure.” The currency notes which have been mentioned in the panchanama and expected to be used as evidence in the case should also be deposited with Muddemal clerk.
As per the CJM’s order, the police will have to take certificate of jeweler for seized gold and silver ornaments and attach it with the investigation documents. This would put check on the embezzlement of seized ornaments. Earlier, the police were mentioning names of seized ornaments as ‘Pivala Dhaatu’ (Yellow metal) and ‘Pandhara Dhaatu’ (White metal) only. This practice had given free hand to police and many allegations were surfaced against the police by the victims.
The CJM further ordered Assistant Superintendent and Nazar of Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC), CJM and Additional CJM to deposit the cash in the banks in fixed deposit with auto renewal facility. In case court orders to deposit the cash with the Government, then said FD can be terminated at any time action under the cash deposit rules and it can be transferred.”
All the JMFC and Additional CJM have been ordered to take review of the system on first day of every month. No senior police officer from City Police was available for the comment on the order.
