For the reasons indicated in its holding, the lower court upheld the first instance judgment that acquitted the Defendant on the violation of the Waste Management Act due to the disposal of wastes outside of the waste collection place and facilities.

The judgment below

In light of the records, the above determination by the court below is acceptable, and contrary to the allegations in the grounds of appeal, it did not err by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free evaluation of evidence against logical and empirical rules, or by misapprehending the legal principles as to joint principal offenders.

On the other hand, although the prosecutor appealed to the entire judgment of the court below, the prosecutor did not state specific reasons in the petition of appeal as to the conviction and did not state the reasons for appeal.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
