HC dismisses writ petition challenging seizure of gold bars exceeding permissible import limit. The court upheld lower authorities' decision denying option to pay fine under Section 125 of Customs Act, 1962. Distinguishing prior precedents, the court noted the instant case involved gold bars significantly over legal limit, unlike previous cases with jewelry within permissible quantum. The court found no merit in petitioners' arguments and rejected interference under Article 226, thereby confirming the original confiscation order and declining alternative fine payment option.
