The Supreme Court examined the legality of the confiscation of 125 kgs of sandalwood oil under Section 61-A of the Kerala Forest Act, 1961. The Court held that the High Court did not err in upholding the confiscation order, affirming that the provisions of Section 61-A and Section 69 of the Act were applicable in this case. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the earlier orders of the High Court and the Divisional Forest Officer.
