Where the property seized under Section 102 of the CrPC is subject to speedy and natural decay and its owner is unknown or absent, it may be sold by auction under the orders of the Superintendent of Police if the value of such property is less than ₹ 500.

– Section 102(3) of CrPC provides for the immediate sale of seized property that is subject to speedy and natural decay or where the owner is unknown/absent, under certain conditions.
– For property with a value less than five hundred rupees, the sale by auction can be ordered by a police officer not below the rank of Superintendent of Police.

– For seized property of a value exceeding ₹500, the matter of disposal typically requires an order from a Magistrate under Section 457 of CrPC if the person entitled to possession is unknown or absent. However, Section 102(3) provides a specific exception for low-value perishable property to facilitate quicker disposal and prevent loss.
