Issues: Whether the petitioner was entitled to provisional release of the seized imported goods, and on what conditions, while permitting the Customs authorities to continue further proceedings.
Analysis: The Court noted that an identical issue had already been decided by the same Bench in earlier writ petitions and, following that course, granted relief for provisional release of the goods. The release was made conditional upon payment of the enhanced duty as quantified by Customs, furnishing a bank guarantee for 10 percent of the total price of the imported goods, and compliance with the directions regarding maintenance of transaction details if the goods were sold after release. The Court also clarified that the order would not prevent the Customs Department from proceeding with adjudication in accordance with law. Any request for waiver of demurrage charges was left to be considered objectively on application.
Conclusion: The writ petition was allowed and the petitioner was granted provisional release of the goods subject to the stated conditions, while the Customs authorities were permitted to continue the adjudication and connected proceedings.
Ratio Decidendi: Where an identical issue has already been decided by the same Bench, provisional release of seized goods may be ordered subject to payment of quantified duty and other protective conditions, without foreclosing statutory adjudication.
