The argument that the court below erred in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the legality of investigation procedures and the meaning of "trade of psychotropic drugs" is not a legitimate ground for appeal, since the defendant alleged in the appellate court that there was no ground for appeal or that there was no ground for ex officio determination by the court below.

In this case where a more minor sentence is imposed on the defendant, the argument that the punishment is too unreasonable is not a legitimate ground for appeal.
