Provisional release of seized imported goods was directed on conditional terms, because the matter was at the seizure-memo stage and the relief sought was only interim release. The Court followed the earlier course adopted in identical matters and noted that the Supreme Court had declined to interfere with conditional release while allowing adjudication to continue. Release was ordered subject to payment of the enhanced duty quantified, furnishing of bank guarantee, and maintenance of transaction details after release. The adjudicating authority was expressly left free to decide the proceedings independently on their own merits, without being influenced by the provisional release order.
