Custody-linked bail relief denied after Customs summons were upheld and appearance before authorities was required.

Bail was refused where the petitioner had been summoned under Section 108 of the Customs Act, 1962 and had already challenged those notices without success. In that backdrop, the court held that the petitioners remained bound to appear before the customs authorities, and declined to entertain the request for bail.
