Property Where Accused Resides But Does Not Own, Including Rented Premises, Can't Be Attached U/S 83 CrPC: Allahabad HC

In a recent Allahabad High Court ruling, it was decided that property which an accused resides in but does not own, being rented premises, cannot be attached under Section 83 of the CrPC. The court clarified that attachment under this section is only applicable to properties owned by the accused, not rented ones. The judgment underscores the legal distinction between ownership and residence in terms of property attachment during legal proceedings. This ruling emphasizes the need for property ownership proof for attachment purposes in criminal cases.
