The HC dismissed the petition challenging the order permitting re-export of goods upon furnishing the Bill of Entry, holding that the petitioner failed to pursue the matter diligently after the 2021 order allowing re-export. The Court found no delay attributable to the Customs Department, as the goods were never detained, negating any obligation to issue a detention certificate. The petitioner's withdrawal of the petition in 2023 and subsequent misrepresentation of Court directions were noted adversely. The prayers were denied as devoid of merit, and a token cost of Rs. 10,000/- was imposed to be paid to the Gujarat State Legal Service Authority within four weeks. The petitioner's request for reconsideration of costs was rejected given the litigation's nature and conduct.
