NEVADA PROPERTIES PVT. LTD. THROUGH ITS DIRECTOR LTD. vs THE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of 'any property' under Section 102 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, ruling that it includes both movable and immovable property. The Court overruled the majority judgment of the Bombay High Court which held that 'any property' did not encompass immovable property, thereby affirming the minority view that police officers have the authority to seize immovable property under certain circumstances. The Court's holding clarifies the scope of police powers in property seizure during criminal investigations.
