(Supreme Court Of India)
HON'BLE JUSTICE SYED M. FAZAL ALI HON'BLE JUSTICE P. S.
KAILASAM
Criminal Appeal No. 13 Of 1973 | 27-04-1979

Fazal Ali, J.

We have gone through the judgment of the High Court. The appellant has been
convicted under Section 135(a) and (b) of the Customs Act and sentenced to 6
months simple imprisonment. The High Court as also the court below have
found that the appellant was found in possession of 1241 wrist watches which
he recovered by opening the cupboard with the keys (which he took out from
the window). It was also found that the appellant had keys of the flat with which
the flat was opened and searched by the Customs Authorities. We do not find
any error of law in the judgment of the High Court. The appeal is without any
merit and is accordingly dismissed.
