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. Non-compliance with Rule 138C's contemporaneous online inspection report (Form A) requirement vitiated the detention/confiscation basis and warranted interlocutory release of goods and detained vehicles. Sampling must be redone: samples drawn in triplicate, sealed and countersigned with petitioners or representatives, with one part forwarded to the jurisdictional Assessing Officer who may proceed with assessment.
