Seizure of imported consignment - mis-declaration of goods - Ownership of goods - BOE is in different name - In the facts of this case, it is not possible for us to conclude that Rekhatex has title over the goods only because it is in possession of the original BOLs. Dehors the materials on record and the manner in which the transactions have taken place pursuant to the seizure, leaves us with no manner of doubt that the claim of Rekhatex of ownership of the goods on the basis of the documents of title, BOLs, cannot be said to be undisputed. We cannot turn a blind eye to the attending circumstances which necessitate an in-depth inquiry before rendering a factual finding regarding ownership of the consignment which may not be possible for us to do so in this writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. - HC
