HC ruled in favor of petitioner seeking release of detained wristwatch, holding that failure to issue show cause notice violated principles of natural justice. While petitioner's delayed submission of documents in response to February email was noted, the court emphasized that procedural requirement of show cause notice cannot be bypassed. Following precedent, absence of show cause notice rendered the detention invalid. Court directed unconditional release of goods within two weeks. Though petitioner's delayed disclosure was problematic, the fundamental procedural defect in detention process necessitated release. Petition succeeded on grounds of violation of natural justice principles.
