Allegation upon the petitioner is that he had taken the hotel on rent from one Rajesh Kumar Gupta and Ranjit Kumar Gupta. He along with manager is involved in immoral trafficking. Accordingly, a seizure list was prepared.

It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that he is innocent, 56 years old person, bears no criminal antecedent and has been falsely implicated in the aforesaid case.
