The word \u2018suspicion\u2019 is a weaker and a broader expression than \u2018reasonable belief\u2019 or \u2018satisfaction\u2019. <em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The police officer is an investigator and not an adjudicator or a decision maker<\/span>.<\/em> This is the reason why the Ordinance was enacted to deal with attachment of money and immovable properties in cases of scheduled offences.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIn case and if we allow the police officer to \u2018seize\u2019 immovable property on a mere \u2018suspicion of the commission of any offence\u2019, it would mean and imply giving a drastic and extreme power to dispossess etc. to the police officer on a mere conjecture and surmise, that is, on suspicion, which has hitherto not been exercised.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was further held that the disputes relating to title, possession, etc., of immovable property are civil disputes which have to be decided and adjudicated in Civil Courts. The Court said,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe must discourage and stall any attempt to convert civil disputes into criminal cases to put pressure on the other side.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Gupta, J<\/strong> wrote a separate concurring verdict where he highlighted that the Code of Criminal Procedure itself the Legislature has in various provisions specifically used the words \u2018movable\u2019 and \u2018immovable\u2019 property as opposed to the words \u2018any property\u2019 under in Section 102, hence<em>, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the phrase \u2018any property\u2019 in Section 102 will only cover moveable property and not immovable property<\/span><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Nevada Properties Pvt.
