68 Return of seized thing (1) As soon as practicable after an authorised officer seizes anything (including a document) under this Part, the officer must return the thing to the owner unless: (a) the officer considers it necessary to retain the thing because it may afford evidence in proceedings that have been or may be commenced for an offence; or (b) the thing is forfeited to the Territory under this Act; or (c) the officer is otherwise authorised (by law or an order of a court) to retain, destroy or dispose of the thing. (2) The thing may be returned either unconditionally or on terms and conditions that the authorised officer considers appropriate.
