Provisional release of imported goods clarified: limited retention for sampling upheld, while the balance had to be released.

No ground was found to review the interim order on provisional release of imported polycarbonate sheets. The petitioner's assurance that it would not object if any batch was selected for sampling was accepted, and the respondents' insistence on opening all 300 rolls was rejected. The court clarified that the respondents could retain one metric ton for investigation and analysis, but the remaining quantity had to be released within the stipulated time. The review application was dismissed on that basis.

Issues: Whether the interim order directing provisional release of imported polycarbonate sheets required review, and whether the respondents could insist on retaining more than one metric ton or opening all rolls for sampling.

Analysis: The Court found no ground to review the earlier interim order. It accepted the petitioner's assurance that no objection would be raised if any batch was selected for sampling, and rejected the respondents' insistence on opening all 300 rolls. The Court clarified that the respondents were entitled to retain one metric ton for investigation and analysis and were to release the remaining quantity within the stipulated time.

Conclusion: The review application was dismissed, with clarification that one metric ton could be retained and the balance of the goods had to be released to the petitioner.
