https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=393783 Interim release of a vehicle seized in alleged gold smuggling was held maintainable despite the Customs Act framework, because the customs authority had itself directed the owner to seek relief before the criminal court under Chapter XXXIV of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
