2012 (6) TMI 30 - HC - CustomsClearance of imported goods - Allegation of Infringement of trade mark - Trade Marks Act, 1999 - valuation - Held that:- respondents must pass an appropriate order indicating the legal basis on which the action is proposed and also the nature of the action proposed for such perceived violation of law on the part of the respondents after giving a reasonable opportunity to the importer to meet the case against him. - Instead of proceeding to determine the duty leviable on the imported goods by following the appropriate procedure or passing an order of confiscation if they believe that they are justified in the facts and circumstances, the respondents, it appears, are indefinitely detaining the goods without any appropriate order being passed thereon. Such a course of action, is absolutely illegal. respondents are required to take a decision expeditiously either to make a regular assessment or a provisional assessment or a decision to confiscated the goods in question if it is permissible under law after following appropriate procedure or provisionally release the goods under Section 110-A of the Customs Act. Writ petition allowed
