Court of Appeals of Tennessee February 16, 1978 (Merchants Bank v. State, Wildlife Resources Agency)

MATHERNE, Judge.

The issue at bar is the constitutionality of T.C.A. § 51-709, which purports to extend to owners and others who have an interest in property seized as contraband under the Fish, Game and Wildlife Resources Statutes the right to assert their interests in the seized property.
