Section 504. Power to restore possession of immovable property.

(1) When a person is convicted of an offence by use of criminal force or show of
force or by criminal intimidation, and it appears to the Court that, by such use of force or
show of force or intimidation, any person has been dispossessed of any immovable property,
the Court may, if it thinks fit, order that possession of the same be restored to that person
after evicting by force, if necessary, any other person who may be in possession of the
property:
Provided that no such order shall be made by the Court more than one month after the
date of the conviction.
(2) Where the Court trying the offence has not made an order under sub-section (1),
the Court of appeal, confirmation or revision may, if it thinks fit, make such order while
disposing of the appeal, reference or revision, as the case may be.
(3) Where an order has been made under sub-section (1), the provisions of
section 502 shall apply in relation thereto as they apply in relation to an order under section 501.
(4) No order made under this section shall prejudice any right or interest to or in such
immovable property which any person may be able to establish in a civil suit.
