WPMS 4210 of 2001 (Old No.851 of 1997) Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala, J. Heard Mr. Nagesh Agarwal, the learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. B. S. Parihar, the learned brief holder for the State. The petitioner has filed the present writ petition for the quashing of the order dated 31st October, 1991 (annexure-3 to the writ petition) and order dated 23.11.1996 (annexure-4 to the writ petition). The petitioner is the driver of the vehicle, whereas the impugned orders have been passed for confiscation of the vehicle against the owner of the vehicle. The driver has nothing to do with it. Consequently, the writ petition for the quashing of these orders is patently erroneous and is dismissed. However, it is made clear that no recovery proceedings pursuant to the said order can be initiated against the driver under Section 72(2) of the U.P. Excise Act. (Tarun Agarwala, J.)
