<h1>Customs Officials Ordered to Stop Unnecessary Detention of Travelers' Personal Jewelry While Baggage Rules Under Review</h1> The Delhi High Court directed Customs officials to prevent unnecessary detention of travelers' old and personal jewelry at airports, addressing concerns about passenger harassment. While the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs conducts stakeholder consultations to amend outdated Baggage Rules from 2016, the court ordered a sensitization initiative for officials. The ruling came in response to over 30 petitions from tourists and Indian citizens whose personal items were detained. If amendments aren't completed by the next hearing, Customs must submit a standard operating procedure by May 19. The court also recommended simplifying appraisal procedures and reviewing how passenger statements are recorded.
