Case Laws Customs HC

Release of seized goods - confiscation - First appellate authority set aside the original order - Non-release of goods has been justified and defended by the respondents on the ground that the Department has filed appeal against the order-in-appeal before the CESTAT - Principles of judicial discipline require that orders of the higher appellate authorities should be followed unreservedly by the subordinate authorities. If this healthy rule is not followed, the result will be undue harassment to the assessees and chaos in administration of tax laws. - HC
