The court noted that the applicant neither filed a bill of entry nor claimed the goods, which were destined for ICD Tughlakabad. Finding the customs action based on probability rather than concrete evidence, and considering the goods were already seized, the court determined custodial interrogation was unnecessary. Bail was granted for Rs. 25,000 with conditions requiring the applicant to cooperate with customs, attend their office on specified Mondays, and appear with legal representation at visible but not audible distance during questioning. en-us Wed, 31 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 03 Aug 2024 08:09:18 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=756456 The Sessions Court at Panvel granted anticipatory bail to an applicant in an arecanut smuggling case involving goods worth Rs. 5 crores seized at JNPT.
