1. ““It is noted that the statutes supra provide for no notice, actual or constructive, to the owner or owners out of possession of the seized property before the property is declared forfeited and offered for sale. Because of this fatal defect, these statutes, Sections 5866-04 to 5866-06, Mississippi Code of 1942 Annotated (Supp.1964), are unconstitutional as to an owner out of possession and innocent of knowledge of the illegal purpose for which the firearm or other equipment is being used. They violate the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Section 14 of the Constitution of the State of Mississippi, as to such an owner out of possession. There must be notice of some kind, either actual or constructive, and an opportunity afforded to be heard before the property of an innocent owner out of possession can be forfeited; otherwise, the true owner is deprived of his property without due process of law.” 191 So.2d at 538 .”
