Article 183 of Code of Criminal Procedure and Trials

English translation

If the offence concerns possession of immovable property, and the court considers that it should be taken from the person holding it and kept at the court's disposal during the hearing of the case, it may order that it be placed under sequestration. It shall remain so for as long as its preservation is necessary for the investigation. If a person is convicted of an offence accompanied by the use of force, and it appears to the court that a person was dispossessed of immovable property by reason of that force, the court may order that possession of the property be restored to the person from whom it was usurped, without prejudice to third-party rights over that property.
Arabic original
إذا كانت الجريمة متعلقة بحيازة عقار، ورأت المحكمة نزعه ممن في يده وإبقاءه تحت تصرفها أثناء نظر الدعوى، فلها ان تأمر بوضعه تحت الحراسة، ويبقى كذلك طالما كان التحفظ لازما للتحقيق. وإذا حكم بإدانة شخص في جريمة مصحوبة باستعمال القوة، وظهر للمحكمة ان شخصا جرد من حيازة عقار بسبب هذه القوة جاز للمحكمة ان تأمر بإعادة العقار إلى حيازة من اغتصب منه دون الإخلال بحقوق الغير على هذا العقار.
