https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=41373 Conviction under the Gold Control Act and Customs Act could not stand because the prosecution failed to produce legal evidence proving the appellant's possession of, or knowledge about, the concealed gold articles. Although the gold was recovered from a pit in the compound of the appellant's house, the appellant immediately denied knowledge or possession, and a third party's later statement admitting concealment in the compound did not establish the appellant's awareness or consent. No prior collusion or conspiracy between the appellant and the third party was proved, so the essential ingredients of the offences remained unproved and the conviction was set aside. en-us Tue, 23 Jan 1979 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 02 Jun 2010 15:18:29 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=41373 Conviction under the Gold Control Act and Customs Act could not stand because the prosecution failed to produce legal evidence proving the appellant's possession of, or knowledge about, the concealed gold articles.
