Levy of penalty u/s 112(a)/112(b)/114A/114AA of Customs Act - Smuggling - Gold Bars - Baggage Rules - Here in the case on hand, some of the officials are not even put on SCN, a few of the persons and some officials who were put on notice have been exonerated, crucial witnesses were not examined/questioned, nothing is forthcoming as to the fate of letter found and seized from Mr. Haris and hence, there are too many loose ends perhaps due to lack of proper investigation - there are no other sustainable evidence against any of the appellants and hence, the revenue has not made out any case against them.
