Issues: Whether goods imported in contravention of the specified port requirement under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971, after confiscation and payment of redemption fine under the Customs Act, 1962, could be permitted to be cleared for home consumption instead of being restricted to re-export.
Analysis: The goods were imported with the required licence and duty had been paid. The only violation found was import through a port not specified under Rule 45 of the Insecticides Rules, 1971. The goods were therefore confiscated under Section 111(d) of the Customs Act, 1962, and redemption fine was imposed under Section 125 of the Customs Act, 1962. The Court held that once the breach stood remedied by confiscation and payment of redemption fine, the importer could not be confined to re-export alone. The authorities had erred in refusing clearance for home consumption despite the redemption fine having been paid.
Conclusion: The restriction confining the importer to re-export was unsustainable, and the goods were required to be permitted to be cleared for home consumption on payment of the redemption fine already paid.
Ratio Decidendi: Where the only infraction is breach of a conditional import restriction and confiscation has been redeemed by payment of fine, the goods may be cleared for home consumption unless the statute or order validly mandates otherwise.
