Adjudicating authorities must record reasoned findings when imposing penalties under Customs provisions; failing to apply mind or explain rejection of the importer's explanation renders the penalty order unsustainable and requires fresh adjudication. A finding of knowledge and intention is jurisdictional to impose penal liability for dealing with misdeclared or improperly imported goods and for abetment, so penalties under those provisions cannot stand absent such findings.
