The petitioner had submitted a reply to the show cause notice, and the matter was scheduled for a hearing. The court allowed the petitioner to appear before the authority on a specified date to present their case and make an offer for the release of the consignment as per Section 129(1) of the Act. The court emphasized that the writ petition was disposed of without any costs, and connected miscellaneous petitions were closed.

The judgment aimed to ensure a fair and just resolution of the matter in accordance with the provisions of the law, allowing the petitioner the opportunity to present their case effectively.
