The CESTAT held that the 352 rolls of coated textile fabric seized from the appellant's warehouse were not notified goods under Section 123 of the Act, nor were they seized at a port, airport, or international border. Consequently, the burden to prove smuggling rested on the Revenue, which failed to discharge this burden. Therefore, the confiscation proceedings were unsustainable, and neither redemption fine nor penalty could be imposed. The impugned order was set aside, and the appeal was allowed in favor of the appellant.
