What do you mean by "court case is lost"
you are mentioning that a theft happened in the house that belongs to you.
the police caught and arrested the accused and found your belongs, in this case gold.
because this falls under Theft under IPC a case will be filed in court and the accused , here the thief arrested by police, if found guilty will be punishable not exceeding 7 years of imprisonment and shall also be liable to fine.

The question is that the stolen properties have been recovered and handed over to the original owner legally then the offence is proved, may be accused may be acquitted if the court decides that the charges against him have not been proved beyond doubt, however your items will remain with you.
