Section 128 governs civil forfeiture/claim procedures and does not render criminal charges invalid for being brought after thirty days; prosecutorial discretion under Article 145(3) and s.376 CPC permits initiation of prosecution outside the s.128 claim window, and the applicant failed to establish a s.128(2) written claim to trigger forfeiture procedure, therefore the motion to quash is dismissed.
