2023 (12) TMI 87 - HC - CustomsSeeking prohibition from continuing the illegal investigations and from acting in an arbitrary manner, and to cease causing continued and repeated harassment to the Petitioner - seeking release of the goods detained by the DRI and waiver off the demurrage charges incurred by the Petitioner due to the continuous illegal detention - HELD THAT:- It is manifest that the detention of goods cannot be said to be unjustified. The record further reflects that the petitioner was not the original importer and only appeared subsequently before the respondents claiming to be the beneficial owner of the subject goods. Tested on facts and the principles enumerated by the Supreme Court in Mumbai Port Trust [2017 (7) TMI 977 - SUPREME COURT], there are no justification to grant the reliefs as prayed for in the writ petition. Undisputedly, by the time the instant writ petition was taken up for consideration, it is informed that the goods had already been released and that the exercise of valuation had also been concluded - the prayers as framed in the writ petition are clearly rendered infructuous. Petition dismissed.
