S. Srinivas, v. The State Of Telangana

HONOURABLE Dr. JUSTICE B.SIVA SANKARA RAO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.196 of 2017 ORDER :

This revision is filed aggrieved by the order dated 17.11.2016 passed by the learned Principal and Sessions Judge, Adilabad, in Crl.A.No.109 of 2016 confirming the order dated 22.06.2016 of the learned Collector (Civil Supplies), Adilabad, in Case No.CS6/ 833/ 2015.

2.

Heard both sides.

3.

A perusal of the impugned order supported by the record including from the stock seizure report from verification of the stock of the petitioner, who is the civil supplies dealer of the stock supplied as if entered distributed as 100% but the stock issued that is also confirmed by the stock holders and his explanation as if it is still to distribute itself shows without distribution in entering as if distributed, suffice to say there is nothing to interfere with the impugned order insofar as ordering confiscation concerned, but for to consider whether 100% confiscation is justified or not, even from the mediator's panchanama and the statements of the card holders, it is not their case that they paid for the value of the undistributed stock.

4.

Having regard to the above, the order of confiscating 100% of the value of the seized stock to the Government is modified to 70% by return of 30% of the seized stock or its value to the petitioner herein.

5.

Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. 6.

Miscellaneous petitions, pending if any, shall stand closed. _________________________ Dr. B. SIVA SANKARA RAO, J Date:01-02-2017 pab
