2016 (12) TMI 1499 - ALLAHABAD HIGH COURTIssuance of writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing the impugned arrest notice dated 6.12.2016 - Sections 132, 135(a) of the Customs Act, 1962 - Held that: - in the present case summon was issued on 6.12.2016 under Section 108 of the Customs Act, 1962 to the petitioner to appear on the next date i.e. 7th December, 2016 at 11:30 hours and also to produce the documents and records mentioned in the Schedule at Serial No. 1 to 5 - It is very surprising that on the same day i.e. 6.12.2016 the notice of arrest was also issued to the petitioner by the office of Superintendent (SIIB), Customs Commissionerate, Noida. As such, notice of arrest suffers from non-application of mind, and appear to be arbitrary and unreasonable and is, therefore, liable to be quashed. Impugned arrest notice quashed - petition allowed - decided in favor of petitioner.
