Validity of detention and seizure of goods - classification of scrap - The DRI has firstly detained the goods, which later on had been seized. Assuming that the stage of adjudication of show cause notice is yet to come, this Court has no intent to go into the issue of classification at all as it would be for the proper officer to workout the same on following the due procedure and on requisite scrutiny however, noticing that the order of detention and seizure by the DRI itself is unsustainable, we allow the petition by quashing and setting aside the seizure and the panchnama. - HC
