In the dispute concerning a wrist watch, the prosecution relied on a substantially higher valuation, while the applicant produced a receipt showing a lower value. On that material, the Court treated continued custody as unnecessary and accepted that any risk of tampering could be managed by conditions. The applicant was therefore held entitled to bail, subject to appropriate safeguards. en-us Fri, 15 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 29 Nov 2019 10:07:12 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=389035 Bail in a Customs Act prosecution may be granted where the material before the Court does not prima facie support the prosecution's valuation of the seized goods and the custodial objection is therefore not made out.
