Legal definition for Indian law research

Definition

Secrete, defined in connection with a postal article addressed to some person, the fact that it is retained in his possession by an officer of the post office in an almirah and that too for an inordinately long period would be tantamount to hiding that article. Of course, what act amounts to 'secreting' would necessarily depend upon the facts of each case, Radha Kishan v. State of Uttar Pradesh, AIR 1963 SC 822: (1963) (Supp) 1 SCR 408: (1963) All LJ 397: (1963) All WR (HC) 304: (1963) All Cr 156: (1963) BLJR 353: (1963) 1 LLJ 667.
