Redemption fine imposed under s.125 of the Customs Act for import of a used car in violation of Foreign Trade Policy conditions was waived because the importer declined to redeem the seized vehicle, citing its disfigured condition and lack of roadworthiness, and the tribunal accepted the prayer in the miscellaneous application.
