Adjudication time limits for customs seizure cases set, with staged deadlines and supervisory review required. The Board prescribes adjudication time limits for seizure only customs proceedings: one year for Commissioners or Additional/Joint Commissioners, six months for Assistant/Deputy Commissioners, and three months for gazetted officers below Assistant Commissioner from service of the show cause notice. These limits exclude cases combining seizure with duty demand, which follow the indicative timetable for demand cases. If the prescribed period cannot be observed, the adjudicating officer must report circumstances to the supervisory officer, who will set and monitor an appropriate disposal timeframe.
