Police has custody of my lost articles how to recover
19-Apr-2023 (In Civil Law)
I lost my bag with Laptop and few valuable things @ nagarcoil jn and complained to the TN police at nagarcoil Jn (not to the RPF). FIR has been filed and police accused the thief(s). Now the things are under Police custody and I was informed that I have to host a lawyer to get it back or else police will set up a lawyer and I have to pay them, Even though I get the items back its of no use as the laptop has been smashed by the thief. Should I have to set up a lawyer or pay police to get back my things ?
After recovering the stolen item, police submit property form to the nearest court. The property form includes details such as FIR number, description of the property, crime, officer in-charge of the case etc. While submitting property form to the court, the police or the complainant can seek custody of the stolen item till the closure of the case. In case of electronic items like phone, computer and perishable commodities, normally, the court grants temporary custody of the stolen item to the complainant. This is because value of the property might deteriorate by the time the case closes. It might take six to 12 months for the closure of the case.
So, in order to get the possession of your things it is advisable you get a lawyer who will be able to help you retrieve the things after completing all the legal formalities needed.
