It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the value of the seized stocks was Rs.4,36,800/- and 15% of it comes to Rs.65,420/- and there was variation of 11.8 quintals of rice from the shop of the revision petitioner at Malkajgiri, Hyderabad and imposing confiscation of 15% of the stocks is not reasonable and hence, the same may be reduced.
