Seeking release of the goods imported - betelnuts/supari described as Menthol Scented Sweet Supari (“goods”) - nature of the mix created - The petitioner sought clearance of imported goods after obtaining a favorable classification ruling and a positive test report from the FSSAI. However, the respondents delayed clearance based on a report from the DYCC, which raised concerns about the presence of kernel husk fragments. The High court ruled in favor of the petitioner, emphasizing that the classification ruling and the FSSAI's report should have been respected, and the presence of kernel husk fragments did not warrant withholding clearance.
