Section 63(1) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 empowers the court to:

Section 63(1) NDPS Act directs the trial court to "decide whether any article or thing seized under this Act is liable to confiscation under section 60 or section 61 or section 62" and, if so, to order confiscation accordingly. Forfeiture of the accused's other property is a Chapter VA matter, and confiscation rests on the court's decision, not on the seizing officer's report.
