2024 (1) TMI 903 - HC - CustomsSeeking grant of anticipatory bail - bailable offence or not - Smuggling - prohibited goods or not - HELD THAT:- The judgement of the coordinate Bench in Mohd. Tufail, Mohammad Alam [2023 (3) TMI 1293 - ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT] appears to be more reasoned wherein it is held that the import of gold into the territory of India is not prohibited goods and also that if the value of the gold being imported illegally into India is less than 1 Crore, the same would be a bailable offence. Thus having regard to the reasons mentioned given therein, there are no reason to differ from the view adopted by the coordinate Bench in Mohd. Tufail, Mohammad Alam. Thus having regard to the reasons mentioned herein before, in the considered opinion of this Court, the facility of bail may be safely extended to the applicant. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant bail application is allowed.
