1991 (2) TMI 143 - HC - Customs

Summary

The High Court of Madras modified the judgment of the learned Single Judge in a writ petition regarding the release of goods. The respondent was directed to pay one-third of the total amount in cash and furnish a bank guarantee for the balance to secure the release of the goods. The appellate authority would consider the waiver of deposit independently. The appellants were advised to question orders promptly to avoid financial hardship due to demurrage. The goods were to be released within twenty-four hours of compliance to prevent further demurrage. The writ appeal was disposed of with no costs.
