2021 (5) TMI 976 - HC - CustomsSmuggling - Gold - It is the case of the petitioner that since the respondent appeared to have committed offences punishable under Sections 132 and 135 of the Customs Act, 1962 - HELD THAT:- Perusal of the record shows that the respondent is a native of Afghanistan and there is every possibility that he would abscond and fail to return to India in case he is permitted to go to his country at this stage and thus misuse his liberty. The investigation in the present case is still underway and charge sheet is yet to be filed. In case, the petitioner is allowed to leave the country, the same will hamper further investigation of this case and the filing of the charge sheet. Moreover, keeping in view the nature and gravity of the allegations, it is not a fit case where permission to go abroad should be granted. The petition stands allowed.
