Case Laws Customs HC

HC dismissed the writ petition challenging a customs penalty, holding that the statutory pre-deposit under Section 129E of the Customs Act, 1962 is mandatory. The court found no merit in the petitioner's claim of financial incapacity, noting the petitioner's status as a regular importer who should be aware of statutory provisions. The petition was rejected as the petitioner was re-agitating previously adjudicated contentions and failed to comply with the mandatory pre-deposit requirement for filing a statutory appeal.
