July 4, 2024

The case involved a challenge to the imposition of penalties and confiscation of goods under the Customs Act, 1962. The Appellate Tribunal found that the penalties imposed were not justified as the procedural irregularities did not warrant such severe actions. The Tribunal highlighted that the confiscation of goods was not warranted as the goods were not removed from the customs area without permission. The Commissioner of Customs was deemed to have exceeded authority in imposing penalties and failed to properly assess the breaches. The Tribunal set aside the penalties and confiscation, allowing the appeal.
