Customs authorities may impose conditions for provisional release of seized goods under the Customs Act, but that power cannot be used to defeat a lawful criminal court custody order. Where a Chief Judicial Magistrate directed release of a seized vehicle on execution of bond, an additional security deposit equal to at least 30% of the vehicle's value was held unsustainable because it frustrated that order. The vehicle was therefore to be released on the bond already fixed by the criminal court.
