Clause 89

Where a person has been convicted by a subordinate military court of having stolen, dishonestly misappropriated or converted, received, knowing it to be stolen, or otherwise unlawfully obtained, any property, and the property or any part thereof is found in the possession of the offender, the president of the court may order the property so found to be restored to the person appearing to be the lawful owner thereof.

A like order may be made with respect to any property found in the possession of such offender, which appears to the president of the court to have been obtained by the conversion or exchange of any of the property stolen, dishonestly misappropriated or converted, received or unlawfully obtained.

An order under this section shall not bar the right of any person, other than the offender, or any one claiming through him, to recover any property or money delivered or paid in pursuance of an order under this section from the person to whom the same is so delivered or paid.
