Customs reward claim verification accepted, with payment of any balance due ordered after record-based review.

The respondents accepted an undertaking to verify the petitioner's claim for balance reward in customs matters against the relevant records and to disburse any amount found due after that verification. The Court disposed of the writ petition on that basis and did not adjudicate the claim on merits or determine the precise amount payable. The Court also left undecided the question whether the dispute fell within the jurisdiction of the Central Administrative Tribunal, declining to rule on tribunal competence in light of the respondents' undertaking.
