Chimakurthy Bala Krishna v. The State Of Ap.

THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.108 OF 2016 ORDER:

The petitioner has preferred the present criminal revision case by invoking the provisions under Sections 397 and 401 of Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C.,) being aggrieved by the Order dated 24.08.2015 passed in Crl.A.No.85 of 2013 by the Principal Sessions Judge, Ongole, whereby the learned Sessions Judge dismissed the appeal confirming the order dated 10.03.2013 in Rc.CS1/6A/33/2013, passed by the Collector (CS), Prakasam District, Ongole ordering confiscation of 10% of the seized stock or its value to the Government. Heard and perused the material available on record. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has not committed any irregularities and in any event, the confiscation of 10% of the seized stocks is excessive in nature and as such, prays for reduction of percentage of confiscation of seized stock.

The concurrent findings arrived by both the Courts below are on appreciation of evidence in proper perspective and this Court finds no ground to interfere with the said concurrent findings. Hence, the revision is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. Consequently, the miscellaneous petitions pending in this revision, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 27.01.2016 Tsr
