Provisional Customs Attachment Limited to One Year, Automatic Termination Confirmed After Statutory Period Expires

April 14, 2025

Case Laws Customs HC

HC ruled that provisional attachment under Section 110(5) of Customs Act, 1962 cannot exceed one year. Section 110A is inapplicable when attachment period expires, precluding extension beyond statutory timeframe. The court determined that once the one-year period lapses, the provisional attachment automatically ceases, and parties cannot invoke Section 110A to maintain the attachment. Consequently, the court granted relief by raising the attachment of petitioners' bank accounts, effectively terminating the provisional seizure.
