Redemption fine option becomes void if unpaid within the statutory period, with exception for cases where an appeal is pending. Amendment narrows section 125 by excepting confiscated goods that are not prohibited or restricted when demand proceedings are deemed concluded under section 28, and adds a new sub section voiding the redemption option if the redemption fine is not paid within the prescribed period from the date of option, save where an appeal is pending, with a transitional explanation allowing delayed exercise for prior orders lacking pending appeals.
