In the gold melting case, about which opinions of the Judges of the Chief Court of Mysore were reported previously, Mr. Justice Chandrasekhara Iyer has passed final orders [in Bangalore]. In this case one Chettan Muniswamy who was found to be in possession of a piece of gold was charged under the Mines Regulation for being in possession of “unwrought” gold. The First Class Magistrate of Kolar Gold Field discharged the accused taking the view that the gold was probably the product of old jewellery melted.
