2022 (12) TMI 1253 - ALLAHABAD HIGH COURTSeeking provisional release of detained goods - Light Melting Iron and Steel Scrap for melting imported at the port of CFS M/s Star Track Terminal Pvt. Ltd. ICD Dadri - prohibited goods or not - stand of the department is that the petitioner is required to deposit the demurage charges and other charges for removal of goods and storage of them in the warehouse in accordance with Section 49 of Customs Act, 1962 - HELD THAT:- In the rejoinder affidavit, the dispute has again been raised with regard to the validity of the order of seizure and action of the respondent authority in seizure of the goods. But nothing has been stated about the process of removal of goods from the container and its storage in the warehouse or inclination to deposit the demurage charges. We, therefore, find that the writ petition is wholly misconceived and hence dismissed. It is made clear that the dismissal of the present writ petition will not come in the way of the petitioner, in any manner, in case its representative appears before the competent authority to discharge its liability for removal of goods from the containers or any other dispute pending before the investigating authority or adjudicating authority.
