2021 (3) TMI 32 - HC - CustomsProvisional release of goods - Seeking to allow clearance of used MFDs imported by the petitioner - HELD THAT:- Mr. Shankhesh Mehta, the Joint Commissioner is in contempt of this Court. Mr. Mehta should not have sat in appeal over the order passed by this Court. He could not have been wiser than what has been observed by this Court in the order dated 11th January 2021. If there was any doubt in his mind as regards the correctness of the order of this Court, then he should have consulted Mr. Vyas, the learned Additional Solicitor General of India and Mr. Vyas, in turn, could have preferred an appropriate application before this Court seeking review or modification of the order. However, the Joint Commissioner on his own could not have taken the view that the goods cannot be released. Mr. Mehta, the Joint Commissioner owes an explanation in this regard. Let Notice be issued to the opponents, returnable on 24th February 2021. The opponents shall be served directly through Email. Regular Direct Service is also permitted.
