The HC ruled that customs authorities failed to preserve crucial CCTV evidence that would have verified whether the petitioner was wearing the gold kada upon departure, noting that such footage is only available for 30 days. The court emphasized that immediate action should be taken to preserve evidence when complaints of illegal seizure are received. Without this evidence, the legality of the gold kada's detention and confiscation, as well as the alleged illegal seizure of Thai Baht, could not be properly determined. The HC ordered that the petitioner's revision petition be decided within one month from the date of judgment and disposed of the petition accordingly.
