#BNSS Section 503

Karnataka High Court reinforces judicial hierarchy by mandating Sessions Courts to follow High Court directives under BNSS Sections 497 and 503 for interim custody of seized property, setting aside an order denying release of silver articles and cash worth Rs. 17.4+ lakhs. The ruling underscores that lower courts cannot disregard binding superior court directions, ensuring procedural fairness in criminal proceedings.

High Court of Telangana holds that interim custody of a vehicle under BNSS Section 503 cannot be denied merely because the charge sheet is not filed. Key precedent for vehicle owners in NDPS cases.
