Confiscation of seized truck u/s 115(2) of the Customs Act, 1962 - levy of penalty - The case involved the seizure and subsequent confiscation of a vehicle allegedly involved in smuggling activities. The appellant, the owner of the vehicle, claimed innocence, stating that the driver loaded the goods without his knowledge. Despite contesting the allegations and highlighting financial hardship, the Adjudicating Authority imposed a redemption fine and penalty. The appellant appealed, arguing lack of evidence and financial strain. The CESTAT, while acknowledging the appellant's limited involvement and financial condition, upheld partial accountability and reduced the penalties imposed.
