09.10.2025 passed in Crl.M.P.No.10033 of 2025 by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate for Exclusive Trial of CCB Cases, Egmore, Chennai, thereby dismissing the petition filed for return of electronic articles deposited in A.No.693 of 2025 on 16.04.2025.

¶2The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner company had entered into commercial contract with the defacto complainant in the year 2021 for supply of white sugar and on believing their words, they had made payment through bank. Though they have received the amount the petitioner company failed to supply the goods as their promise and deceived them. Hence, a case has been registered in CCB Crime No.247 of 2024 for the offences under Sections 409, 420 r/w 120(B) of I.P.C. Pursuant to the registration of the FIR, the movable properties belonging to the petitioner was seized and produced before the Metropolitan Magistrate for Exclusive Trial of CCB Cases, Egmore, Chennai.

¶3The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that there are totally four accused in this case, in which the petitioner is arrayed as A1. He further submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case. He would also submit that the So, charge levelled against the petitioner/A1 was dismissed by the trial court, which is under investigation. He __________Page 2 of 4 also submitted that the petitioner is ready and willing to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court for the release of the vehicle.

¶4The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) would submit that the petitioner is an accused in this case and the electronic articles were seized by the respondent police. He would also submit that he had sent a proposal to get a G.O. to make interim attachment of movable properties.

¶5Considering his submissions stating that there was a proposal sent to get a Government Order to make attachment of movable properties, handing over of electronic articles at this stage is not permissible, since more than a sum of Rs.10 crores involved in the said offence. Therefore, this court is not inclined to hand over the electronic articles to the petitioner company and the order passed by the trial judge in Crl.M.P.No.10033 of 2025 is confirmed. Accordingly, this Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. 21-11-2025 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order RPP To
