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. The investigation remains ongoing to assess potential non-compliance, with the seizure deemed valid based on reasonable suspicion of unlawful transportation and unaccounted goods. The petitioner's inability to provide satisfactory explanations for the documentation gaps further substantiated the authorities' actions.
