The owner and driver denied knowledge of the contraband, and no evidence implicated them in smuggling. As no one claimed the goods, indicating lack of owner involvement, and with no proof of awareness presented, the confiscation was deemed unjustified. The Tribunal emphasized the necessity of proving owner or driver complicity in such cases, setting aside the confiscation order and allowing the appeal. The decision hinged on the absence of evidence linking the owner or driver to the illegal activities, rendering the confiscation legally unwarranted. en-us Tue, 17 Jan 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 13:44:11 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=119012 The Tribunal overturned the confiscation of a Jeep by Customs authorities, along with contraband goods found in it.
