Customs seizure of gold bars requires objective material showing reasonable belief of smuggled or foreign origin; mere suspicion, a high purity test report, or a claimed "diamond marking" is insufficient without corroborating evidence. The text also stresses that co-noticee statements must be independently supported and properly brought on record under Section 138B before they can sustain confiscation.
