ii

on an application made by any other person, that detention of the cash is not for that or any other reason justified; and

b

a customs officer or constable may release the cash if satisfied that its detention is no longer justified but shall first notify the magistrates' court under whose order it is being detained.

6

If at a time when any cash is being detained by virtue of the foregoing provisions of this section—

a

an application for its forfeiture is made under section 26 below; or

261

A magistrates' court may order the forfeiture of any cash which has been seized under section 25 above if satisfied, on an application made while the cash is detained under that section, that the cash directly or indirectly represents any person’s proceeds of, or is intended by any person for use in, drug trafficking.
