Where a person is convicted of an offence under this Law, or any related inchoate offence, and the court is satisfied that any property which was in his possession or under his control at the time he was apprehended for the offence or when a summons in respect of it was issued —
has been used for the purpose of committing, or facilitating the commission of, the offence in question or any other such offence; or
was intended by him to be used for that purpose, the court may order that property to be forfeited to the Crown, and may do so whether or not it deals with the offender in respect of the offence in any other way.
A court shall not order the forfeiture of anything to the Crown if a person claiming to be the owner or otherwise interested in it applies to be heard by the court unless an opportunity has been given to that person to show cause why the order should not be made.
An application under this section cannot be made by the person convicted of the offence that led to the forfeiture.
