There is hardly any ground in this appeal for interference. Not only II Additional District Judge (Fast Track Court), Adilabad, on appreciation of evidence, held that the transportation of Red sanders, which was being transported in vehicle in question owned by the appellant, was to the knowledge of the appellant, even learned single Judge held that evidence clearly shows that transportation was with the knowledge of the appellant who also accompanied in another vehicle up to a distance of 30 kms. Learned single Judge also held that reliance placed by the learned counsel for the appellant on a decision reported in Sub-Divisional Forest Officer, Chennur Vs. Vijay B. Gulati (1998 (1) ALD 117 (FB) is misconceived since fact situation is different which was prevailing in the said decision. Except ipse dixit of the appellant, no other evidence was produced by the appellant showing that the transportation of Red sanders is not in his knowledge. 2. Writ appeal fails and is dismissed. No costs. ____________________ DEVINDER GUPTA. C.J., _____________________ M. NARAYANA REDDY. J., Dated: 02.02.2005. VRK.
