2023 (5) TMI 675 - GUJARAT HIGH COURTSeeking release of detained goods - waiver of detention charges in view of Section 10(1)(l) of the Sea Cargo Manifest and Trans Shipment Regulations, 2018 and Regulation 6(1)(i) of the Handling of Cargo in Customs Area Regulation, 2009 - petitioner submitted that despite the stand of the Custom authorities in favour of the petitioners, the goods are not released because of the insistence of the respondents no.3 and 4-private parties, for payment of detention and demurage charges - HELD THAT:- The stand of respondents no.3 and 4 could not be impediment in releasing the goods. The claim of detention and demurrage charges by the said private parties could be enforced by them by taking recourse to civil remedies in accordance with law, as may be permissible. However, the Court shall not express any opinion in that regard. Hence, without going into further factual details and merits of the case, the respondents are hereby directed to release the goods which are under their custody within two weeks from the date of receipt of this order - Even as the prayers other than release of goods are not pressed by the learned advocate for the petitioner, they could not have been granted by the Court. The goods shall however be released. Petition disposed off.
