2013 (1) TMI 741 - CALCUTTA HIGH COURTDenial to release the consignment - Consignment to be shipped to Nepal - Held that: - The consignment has not yet been released possibly since the Officer-in-Charge of the concerned police station has not yet given no objection to release of the consignment in question. There are apparently no materials to show that the petitioner had removed the cartons in question. The cartons were stolen from the port area. The theft took place on or about 25th August, 2012. Over four and a half months have elapsed. The police authorities have had sufficient time for investigation. In the absence of any finding of any complicity of the petitioner in the theft, there could be no question of detaining the rest of the cartons. Nor could the petitioner have been called upon to get no objection from the police. - Customs authorities are directed, to release the goods in question for onward journey to Nepal - Decided in favour of appellant.
