JUDGMENT V. Chandrachud CJI. - We agree with the reasons given by the High Court in support of its conclusion that the amount in respect of which the accused were charged for the offence under Section 411 of the Penal Code is not proved to be stolen property. In that view of the matter, the amount cannot be directed to be paid over to the appellant from whose premises the theft of a certain amount was committed. No connection is established between the amount stolen from the appellant's premises and the amount recovered from the accused. 2. The stay is vacated and the appeal is dismissed.
