1. The process begins by filing a motion to the court to release the recovered items. The courts insist on the production of a surety or deposit of equivalent amount to ensure that the released item is not pocketed by a person who is not the lawful owner thereof.

2. It is better to deposit the amount than to bring a surety as the deposited amount will be released when the case is decided by the court.

1) In your case court has directed you to give cash surety of to 60000.

2) You should not offer to deposit your original title deeds of the house as surety

3)you can make cash deposit in favour of registrar of the court

1. The court can also release the recovered item by ordering you to deposit the sale deed of an unencumbered immovable property or the RC of an unencumbered vehicle owned by you.

2. The amount can be deposited in cash and a receipt obtained from the court cashier.

3. To get the amount back after the culmination of the case you have to file an official request to the court which may be allowed within 10 minutes.

4. The case will draw to an end when the court pronounces the judgment. You are not summoned as an accused, so there is nothing you can do to close the case. It is entirely between the public prosecutor and defence.

If the court has ordered for a surety amount of Rs. 60,000/- to be deposited, what is your problem in it, yes the amount will be returned after the case is disposed.

Your subsequent questions have no meaning at all because you are asking about the court procedures which you will come to know once you are there in the court. Certain laid procedures are to be complied with properly without questioning the authority about its validity. In the order passed for deposit of security amount, the court would have specified the mode of deposit either by case or cheque and in whose name etc, the clerk who is meant for this purpose will properly explain the procedures and answer all your questions.
