Seizure of jewellery by investigation officer under 498a, 406 and 3&4 dp act

The police cannot seize the jewels from the house of the accused just because the complainant has lodged a complaint in this regard.

The police officer has to obtain permission or order from concerned trial court for this and of course court may not incline or pass an order to this effect to the police merely because of a pending complaint.

If the police is acting in excess or beyond their power violating the law you may approach high court with a petition to direct the police to restrain from indulging in such activities detrimental to the case proceedings and follow due process of law alone 

The police has not obtained order prior to seizure but after seizure it has informed the court. The jewellery seized is in malkana. The complaint wife had not provided any documents to establish her claim .I would appreciate if you can provide judgement or provision of law where it is held that investigation officer need to take prior permission of court to seize jewellery. If investigation officer acted in such a way , it amounts to unfair investigation. Can it be a ground for discharge or quash . Please advice and if possible mention judgement and sections .
