For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Arvind Kumar Sinha, Advocate For the Respondent/s : Mr. Tej Pratap Singh, AC to GP-17 =========================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL JUDGMENT Date: 21-01-2015 In Confiscation Case No. 1 of 2009, the authorized officer has confiscated gas cylinders. The petitioner is aggrieved by the aforesaid order passed by the authorized officer. By filing the present application under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner seeks release of the confiscated gas cylinders.

The application is thoroughly misconceived. The petitioner has a statutory remedy of appeal.

In that view of the matter, I find no merit in the present

Patna High Court Cr. WJC No.172 of 2014 dt.21-01-2015 2 / 2 application. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J.) Sanjeet/- U T
