HC upheld the seizure of gold ornaments by RPF, finding substantial procedural and documentary irregularities. The court determined that the respondent authorities acted within legal powers due to significant discrepancies in weight, lack of supporting documentation, and failure to establish proper accounting of the seized jewelry.
