(2.) Where any person is convicted before the Court of having dishonestly obtained any property and it appears to the Court the same has been pawned to a pawnbroker or other person, the Court may order the delivery thereof to the person who appears to the Court to be the owner, either on payment or without payment to the pawnbroker or other person of the amount of the loan or any part thereof.

(3.) Nothing in this section shall prevent any Magistrate or the Court from ordering the return to any person charged with an indictable offence, or to any person named by the Court, of any property in the possession of the person so charged or in the possession of any person for him, or of any portion thereof, if the Magistrate or the Court is of opinion that such property or portion thereof can be returned consistently with the interests of justice and with the safe custody or otherwise of the person so charged.
