Confiscation of seized goods: order mandatory even if goods destroyed to prevent compensation claims and avoid redemption options. Adjudicating authorities must order confiscation when an offence relating to seized goods is proved; physical presence of the goods is not required for confiscation and an order transfers ownership to the Central Government. If seized goods are destroyed while in government custody, the Collector should order confiscation and refrain from offering redemption on payment of a fine, thereby preventing compensation claims arising from the absence of a confiscation order.
