1997 (10) TMI 77 - HC - Central Excise

Summary

The High Court of Bombay at Goa ordered the release of goods belonging to the petitioners that were attached under a Detention Order dated 19th August, 1997. This decision was made as the appeals filed by the petitioners under Section 35F of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944, were not disposed of, and the Commissioner of Central Excise (Appeals) could not hear the matter within a reasonable time frame. The respondent was directed to release the goods immediately upon receipt of the court's order.
