Court dismisses petition for seized goods release under Customs Act, advises appeal route. Follow legal procedures.
The court dismissed the writ petition seeking the release of seized goods under Section 110 of the Customs Act, 1962, as the validity of the Commissioner's order was subject to adjudication in a pending appeal under Section 129-A. The court advised the petitioner to pursue relief through the appellate tribunal and adjudicating authority, emphasizing the importance of following legal procedures and respecting decisions of competent authorities in customs-related matters. No mandamus was issued, and the court refrained from expressing opinions on the case's merits or claims of the parties.
Issues: Release of seized goods under Section 110 of the Customs Act, 1962 after a favorable decision in a statutory appeal under Section 128. Validity of the order passed by the Commissioner subject to adjudication in a pending appeal under Section 129-A.
Analysis: The petitioner sought the release of seized goods under Section 110 of the Customs Act, 1962, following a successful statutory appeal against the seizure order under Section 128. Respondent's counsel confirmed that an appeal had been filed before the appellate tribunal under Section 129-A after the writ petition was lodged. The court noted that the validity of the Commissioner's order was under review in the pending appeal, and the petitioner's claim that the appeal had not been admitted or served notice could not be addressed in the current petition. The court advised the petitioner to approach the adjudicating authority to implement the appellate order for releasing the goods if the seizure order was overturned in the appeal, suggesting that the department could seek a stay in the pending appeal. No mandamus was issued in the writ petition, which was subsequently dismissed.
The court clarified that it did not express any opinion on the case's merits or the parties' claims, emphasizing that the competent authority must make independent decisions in compliance with the law.
