Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner.

2. It is contended by the petitioner that the impugned order passed by respondent No.3-Tahsildar is without jurisdiction inasmuch as penalty in respect of the truck belonging to the petitioner, could not have been imposed under section 48(8) of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966.
