Discretionary writ jurisdiction requires a prompt approach and full disclosure of material facts. Unexplained delay, omission of the contemporaneous Customs Act statement, and disputes over whether detained yellow metal jewellery constituted a personal effect, its value, and compliance with baggage requirements prevented unconditional release or quashing of detention.
