High Court considered valuation of seized goods based on market survey and held that once customs issued a show cause notice using market value, the burden shifted to the appellant to prove incorrect valuation; appellant's general denial and failure to substantiate valuation challenged the decision.

The court concluded the appeal raised no question of law required for maintainability under the Act and dismissed the appeal.
