Absolute confiscation of imported computer hard discs was set aside because the goods had already been redeemed on payment of fine and were unavailable for further redemption; the confiscation merits had attained finality. Reliance on Supreme Court precedent supporting redemption meant that a subsequent absolute-confiscation direction was non-est in law. Enhanced penalties on the importer and its business head were also set aside because the original penalties were proportionate to the offence and market value had not been determined to establish the profit margin. The adjudication order allowing redemption and imposing the original penalties was sustained.
