Nevada Properties Pvt. Ltd. Through Its ... vs The State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 102 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, holding that the term 'any property' includes both movable and immovable property. The Court overruled the majority judgment of the Bombay High Court, which had restricted the definition to movable property only. The Court concluded that police officers have the authority to seize immovable property under circumstances that create suspicion of an offence, thereby establishing a broader interpretation of police powers in criminal investigations.
