https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=84274 Section 125 of the Customs Act permits redemption of confiscated goods on payment of fine even where the option granted is re-export rather than clearance for home consumption.

The confiscation and penalty were upheld, and the redemption fine was sustained in principle but reduced on the facts. en-us Mon, 10 Apr 1995 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 18:09:02 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=84274 Section 125 of the Customs Act permits redemption of confiscated goods on payment of fine even where the option granted is re-export rather than clearance for home consumption.
