HC dismissed the petition and upheld the detention and seizure of goods, holding that the impounding was founded on a contemporaneous, categorical statement by the vehicle driver that contradicted the documentary route claim. The Court found the driver's first-instance statement unrebutted, not procured under duress, and more probative than subsequent explanations; absence of any challenge to the statement's voluntariness or authenticity precluded its discredit. Consequently, the impugned orders were not arbitrary and the documentary evidence purporting a different origin was deemed unhelpful to the petitioner. Relief was refused and the administrative seizure and related orders affirmed.
