The HC directed provisional release of goods and conveyance during pending revisional proceedings after noting that the first appellate authority had already modified the confiscation order and imposed liability under Section 129(1)(a), which the petitioner had satisfied. Because the revision had not yet resulted in a final order reviving action under Section 130, release was allowed but subject to revenue protection. The petitioner was required to furnish an indemnity bond and remain bound by the undertaking already filed, while the revenue retained liberty to enforce the revisional outcome. The merits of the revision were left open for the revisional authority.
