Personal penalties for alleged abetment of gold smuggling require proof beyond uncorroborated accomplice statements and suspicion. Where no incriminating article or alleged syndicate mobile connection was recovered from the Customs Hawaldar, the accomplice statement lacked corroboration in material particulars.

Tower-location evidence suggesting use of a mobile connection could not establish involvement. The personal penalties were therefore set aside with consequential relief.
