The judgment below

Examining the reasoning of the lower judgment in light of the record, the lower court did not err by misapprehending the legal doctrine on the confiscation or calculation of the amount of collection, etc. without exhausting all necessary deliberations, as alleged in the grounds of appeal, by exceeding the bounds of the principle of free conviction, in violation of logical and empirical rules.

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