Smuggling - Betel Nuts - foreign origin goods - town seizure - notified item or not - onus to prove - The CESTAT recognized that betel nuts were not notified items under the Customs Act and therefore, the burden of proving smuggling rested with the Revenue. The appellants produced documents during interception to prove legal procurement of the betel nuts, shifting the burden of proof to the Revenue. - Since the Revenue failed to prove that the intercepted betel nuts were smuggled, the Tribunal set aside the confiscation of the goods and waived any penalties on the appellants.
