No Penalty Under Customs Act Section 112(a) as Respondent Not Involved in Gold Seizure or Conspiracy.

November 25, 2020

Case Laws     Customs     CGOVT

Levy of penalty u/s Section 112(a) - The Respondent never came in touch with the gold at all, as it was seized before he came into the conspiracy, and therefore there was no cogent act of commission or omission by the Respondent, which rendered the goods liable for confiscation - The subsequent actions of unravelling the conspiracy and implicating the applicant did not take place and therefore there is no reason for invoking Section 112(a) of the Customs Act, 1962. - CGOVT
