2017 (12) TMI 1868 - ALLAHABAD HIGH COURTSeizure of goods - betel nuts that transported from West Bengal to New Delhi - imported goods or not - HELD THAT:- Petitioner's defence appears to be that the goods are not imported goods, but such as have been produced inside the country, therefore, the custom authority has no jurisdiction to detain or seize the same. While the aforesaid issue may be properly gone into in adjudication proceedings which are yet to be undertaken, at this stage, the goods being perishable in nature may not be detained by the custom authority any further. Accordingly, goods in question may be released in favour of the petitioner, subject to its furnishing security in the shape of other than cash or bank guarantee for the full value of the goods as estimated by the custom authority. The instant writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the respective parties to raise all issues for adjudication in proper proceedings.
