Sri M.Raghupathi Reddy v. The State Of Telangana

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Criminal Revision Case No.1590 of 2015 ORDER:

This revision is preferred challenging the judgment dated 21-07-2015 in Criminal Appeal No.38 of 2014 on the file of the Principal District & Sessions Judge, Ranga Reddy District at L.B.Nagar, wherein and whereby the learned Sessions Judge partly allowed the appeal filed by the petitioner by reducing the penalty imposed from the confiscation of stocks worth Rs.6,73,825/- to confiscation of the variations of stocks worth Rs.51,560/-.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the Court below erroneously confiscated 100% of entire seized stocks. It is further submitted that in the absence of the proprietor of the seeds shop, the complaint is registered.

Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor and having perusing the material available on record, this Court is of the considered view that the confiscation of stock worth Rs.25,000/- would be appropriate.

Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of modifying the order of penalty from confiscation of stocks worth Rs.51,560/- to confiscation of stocks worth Rs.25,000/-.

Miscellaneous petitions filed in this revision, if any, shall stand closed.
