Valuation by check-post authorities under Sections 129/130 cannot determine tax liability; such valuation is reserved to the jurisdictional Assessing Authority, and interception/confiscation proceedings at transit check posts must refer valuation disputes to that authority, resulting here in refusal to uphold valuation-based seizures.
