What is inevitable discovery?
In a criminal procedure, the inevitable discovery rule allows evidence of a defendant's guilt to be admitted as evidence in a trial. The exclusionary rule judges the admissibility of evidence and under the constitutional law, the evidence collected or analyzed in violation of the defendant's constitutional rights is sometimes inadmissible for a criminal prosecution in a court of law. In simple terms, the inevitable discovery exception to the exclusionary rule allows into evidence illegally seized items that would have been discovered lawfully anyway. This exception allows evidence to be admitted, even though it was seized in violation of the Constitution. In order to successfully assert the inevitable discovery exception, some courts require that the prosecution demonstrate that the police were in the process of actively pursuing a lawful investigation that would have led inevitably to the discovery of the evidence at the time that the evidence was illegally obtained.
Who does property that has been seized belong to?

If it was seized as evidence of a crime, it will be returned to the victim/complainant after the trial is over.
