Levy of penalty - confiscation of goods - The High court held that the goods imported without a valid Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) license, which turned out to be forged, were rightly liable for confiscation under Section 111(d) of the Customs Act, 1962. The High court found that the imposition of a redemption fine and penalty under Section 112(a) of the Customs Act did not require mens rea (intent) and was based on a strict liability principle.
