THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 24917 OF 2011 Dated: 06.09.2011 Between: Poonam Chand Sen ..... PETITIONER AND The Commissioner of Prohibition and Excise and 2 others ..... RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.24917 OF 2011 O R D E R : By order dated 20.08.2010 passed by the Deputy Commissioner of Prohibition and Excise, Hyderabad Division in exercise of powers conferred under Section 46 of the A.P.Excise Act, 1968, the petitioner’s vehicle along with the contraband involved in COR No.50/08-09, dated 04.11.2008 of Prohibition and Excise Station, SHO Secunderabad was confiscated. Against the said order, the petitioner preferred an appeal and the same was disposed of by the Commissioner of Prohibition and Excise by order dated 28.01.2011. The 1st respondent- Commissioner of Prohibition and Excise, having taken into consideration the fact that the petitioner was acquitted during the pendency of the appeal, expressed that the punishment of confiscation of vehicle was disproportionate to the offence and accordingly, while setting aside the order imposed a fine of Rs.20,000/-. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Prohibition and Excise appearing for the respondents, I do not find any justifiable reason to interfere with the discretion exercised by the 1st respondent. The order under challenge cannot be held to be vitiated by any error apparent on the face of the record warranting interference by this Court. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ​ ____________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 06.09.2011 Ivd
