The court granted the bank's request for the return of seized notes, declaring the initial seizure illegal. The bank argued it possessed a strict confidentiality duty under the Credit Supervision Act, while the prosecution contended the seizure violated the strict conditions of the old Article 107 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The court ruled that the delivery order failed to meet the statutory requirements for seizing documents not belonging to the suspect, rendering the subsequent seizure unlawful.
