Magistrate's custody of Thondi Articles - The Magistrate directed that the Thondi articles (likely religious or ritual objects) be kept in the Excise Range Office, Aluva, until further orders, and these articles were not produced before the court. This indicates that the articles were not kept in the Magistrate's house but rather in an official custody location as per court directions.

Police custody and safekeeping of seized articles - Several sources emphasize that police officers are responsible for taking charge of seized articles and keeping them in safe custody pending Magistrate's orders. The articles are generally kept at police stations or designated custody points, not necessarily in the Magistrate's personal residence. Damodaran C. VS Station House Officer - Kerala, Sajan S/o Paramu VS State of Kerala - Kerala, SUDHAKARA SHETTY Vs STATE OF KERALA - Kerala, Kulwant Singh VS State of Punjab - Crimes, Kulwant Singh VS State of Punjab - Punjab and Haryana
Seizure procedures and procedural compliance - Proper seizure procedures include preparing an inventory, which must be certified by a Magistrate (Section 52A of NDPS Act). Some cases mention that seized articles, including Thondi items, were sent for FSL examination or destroyed on police premises, but no evidence of proper inventory or certification was presented. This raises questions about procedural compliance but does not indicate articles are kept in Magistrate's house.

Religious or ritual objects (Thondi) specifics - Thondi articles, such as sacred silver threads and other religious paraphernalia, are mentioned as being sent for examination or destroyed by police. Their custody appears to be managed by police or court officials, not the Magistrate personally. In some instances, they were sent for forensic analysis or destroyed, indicating official custody rather than personal storage. Thangapandia Thevar and another VS The State - Madras, Sajan S/o Paramu VS State of Kerala - Kerala
Conclusion - Based on the references, there is no evidence to suggest that a Magistrate Keep Thondi Articles in his House. Instead, these articles are typically kept in official custody, such as police stations or designated office locations, following proper legal procedures. The court directives and procedural standards emphasize custody by police or court officials, not personal residence of Magistrates.
