The HC quashed the confiscation order of a gold chain valued at Rs. 1,76,488/- from the petitioner, a UAE resident who was traveling to India for a wedding. The Court determined the petitioner was an 'eligible passenger' under the Baggage Rules, 2016, and the gold chain constituted personal effects that should not have been seized. The Court noted that personal jewelry is not liable for confiscation under established precedents. Additionally, procedural violations occurred as no show cause notice was issued and no personal hearing was afforded to the petitioner. The HC ordered that no penalty, redemption fine, or warehousing charges be collected, and any amounts already paid be refunded.
