The HC allowed the writ petition and directed provisional release of the imported secondhand highly specialized equipment that respondents had sought to forfeit, holding the case squarely covered by the court's earlier ruling. The Customs Department, Chennai, is ordered to pass orders for provisional release of the goods subject to this dispute, imposing such conditions as it deems fit under the Customs Act, 1962, within four weeks from receipt of this order. The directive supersedes the forfeiture action pending compliance with imposed conditions, and the writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
