2019 (11) TMI 971 - BOMBAY HIGH COURTGrant of Bail - offence punishable under Section 135 of the Customs Act, 1962 - alleged smuggling of foreign marked gold bars to Mumbai from different cities of India, by domestic airlines - HELD THAT:- The statements of the applicants revealed that the applicants were aware of the contents in the parcel. Learned Counsel for the applicants vehemently denies having any knowledge, as there is no requirement to inspect the said parcels. Prima facie, it appears that the parcels were to be delivered to some local persons in Mumbai, through the applicants’ courier agencies. Whether or not the applicants had knowledge of the contents, is a matter which will be decided by the trial Court. Further detention of the applicants is not warranted - the applications are allowed and the applicants are enlarged on bail on specified terms & conditions.
