Where a person who is charged for an offence under this Act or any rules made under this Act is acquitted, the court may order any article seized under this Act or any rules made under this Act to be released to the person from whom the article was seized.

Where the owner of the article cannot be ascertained, the Board may confiscate the article seized.

Every article so forfeited to the Board must be disposed of in any manner that the Board thinks fit.
