The majority view was that a detention certificate issued under the customs scheme bound the airport custodian and warehousing corporation, because the public notice and custody regulations had to be read harmoniously and the custodian's charging power did not extend to the certified detention period. It was also stated that the Customs Collector could validly issue a public notice directing that no custody or warehousing charges be recovered for that period. A dissenting view held that the Customs Act did not authorise such a direction and that the custodian's own charging rights could not be curtailed. en-us Tue, 21 Feb 1995 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 16 Oct 2025 13:04:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=44028 Imported goods detained in customs custody were held to require exclusion of the certified detention period from demurrage and warehousing charges.
