HC dismissed the writ petition challenging a customs penalty, holding that the statutory pre-deposit under Section 129E of the Customs Act, 1962 is mandatory. The court found no merit in the petitioner's claim of financial incapacity, noting the petitioner's status as a regular importer who should be aware of statutory provisions.
