Gold Jewelry Detention Order Set Aside: Natural Justice Violated and Personal Jewelry Exempt from Confiscation

March 8, 2025

Case Laws Customs HC

The HC set aside the Order-in-Original detaining petitioner's gold jewelry, finding violations of natural justice principles as no proper hearing was afforded and consent for waiving show cause notice was improperly obtained through a standard performa. Following established precedent that personal gold jewelry is not subject to confiscation, the court determined the detained gold chain constituted personal jewelry exempt from seizure. The respondent department's failure to provide proper notice and hearing rendered the impugned order unsustainable. The court directed the release of the petitioner's gold item within four weeks and disposed of the petition accordingly.
