Seizure of seized vehicle - fraudulent availment of benefit of the exemption - The Petitioner is unable to render any justification for claiming the release of the vehicle and as aforementioned has not been able to explain as to how he came in possession of the vehicle. In view of the allegations in the Seizure Memo and in the absence of the justification or grounds for release of the vehicle as well as considering the fact that as per the Seizure Memo, the Bills of Entry were forged and benefit of the exemption Notification was wrongly availed, we see no reason to interfere and set aside the Seizure Memo, at this stage. - HC
