Smuggling - illegal importation of the seized gold - Confiscation of the gold and Indian currency - The Tribunal found no evidence linking the seized Indian currency to smuggling activities, thus ruling its confiscation unsustainable. Similarly, penalties imposed on appellant nos. 1 and 2 were deemed unjustified due to lack of evidence implicating them in smuggling. Penalties imposed on appellant nos. 3 and 4 were reduced, considering their involvement in the smuggling but deeming the original penalties excessive. Consequently, the tribunal ordered the release of the confiscated currency and set aside penalties for appellant nos. 1 and 2, while reducing penalties for appellant nos. 3 and 4.
