Availability of an alternative appeal under Section 128 did not bar writ interference where the impugned penalty order suffered from breach of natural justice and absence of a foundational jurisdictional finding. The Court held that penalty under Section 114(iii) could not rest on a mere assumption that non-physical verification by a customs broker established culpability; there had to be a factual finding of commission or abetment of an act rendering goods liable to confiscation.

The penalty was set aside and the matter remanded for fresh consideration after notice.
