The first respondent and their insurer went to Banting Police Station to identify the recovered jewellery items. The first respondent confirmed based on the design and colour that the jewellery was taken from their shop. The recovered items weighed a total of 1,436.17g in gold.
The next day, three of the respondents’ staff members also identified the recovered items based on their handwriting on the tags.
The criminal proceedings were drawn out and finally concluded in 2013. The respondents inquired about the return of the jewellery prior to 2013, however, they were informed that the jewellery could not be returned until the criminal proceedings were completed because it was being used as evidence.
Therefore, the respondents filed an application under s. 413 of the Criminal Procedure Code in April 2012, and on the date of the hearing, the respondents denied the ownership of the exhibits produced in court because they were not pure gold but merely gold plated jewellery. There was also an 82.9g difference in gold weight.
