Proceeds of crime: provisional attachment confirmed; equivalent value attachment and acquisition date fair market value upheld, Covid exclusion preser...
Effective service requirement: officers must explore alternative service modes beyond the GST portal and afford personal hearing; non-compliance voids...
Dominant issue: Whether statutory service under Section 153 was effected. The tribunal found documentary proof that orders and detention notices were returned undelivered and thereafter displayed on the Customs House notice board, satisfying the service mandate; therefore service was effective and the challenge on that ground fails. Substantive determination: Appellant's change of address, failure to notify revenue, and instructions to return postal communications evidenced lack of bona fides, supporting rejection of declared value and re-determination under Rule 9; appeals are dismissed and impugned orders upheld. - CESTAT
