Statutory text

In the State of Gujarat two State Police Museums, one at Ahmedabad and another at Junagadh, are established with the object of giving the police trainees an insight into the types of crime, criminals and the weapons used by them. The Magistrates and the Courts dealing with the criminal cases should, at their own initiative or on the request of the Assistant Public Prosecutor or the Public Prosecutor, make available to the State Police Museums useful articles and criminal exhibits which are ordered to be confiscated under section 452, Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, or any other provision of law. Such articles should, for the said purpose, be sent to the District Superintendent of Police in districts other than Ahmedabad district and to the Commissioner of the Police in Ahmedabad, who should arrange to hand it over to the Museum authorities. The note should be made on the record of the case about sending of such articles to the museums. Before sending the articles the Court concerned should pass the order to the effect that instead of confiscation or destruction the said articles are ordered to be sent to the State Police Museums.
