Penalty if property has been disposed or concealed
407b. Where an offence is proved against an accused and the
property which is the subject matter of an offence has been
disposed of or concealed by the accused or any person on his
behalf, the Court shall order the accused to pay as a penalty a
sum of which is equivalent to, in the opinion of the Court, the
value of the property, and any such penalty shall be recoverable
as a fine.
Direction instead of order
408. Instead of himself making an order under section 407 a
Judge may direct the property to be delivered to a Magistrate,
who shall, in such cases, deal with it as if it had been seized
by the police and the seizure had been reported to him in the
manner hereinafter mentioned.
Payment to innocent person of money found on accused
409. When any person is convicted of any offence which includes
or amounts to theft or receiving stolen property and it is proved
that any other person has bought the stolen property from him
without knowing or having reason to believe that the same was
stolen and that any money has, on his arrest, been taken out of
the possession of the convicted person, the Court may, on the
application of the purchaser and on the restitution of the stolen
property to the person entitled to the possession of it, order that
out of that money a sum not exceeding the price paid by the
purchaser be delivered to him.
