2024 (5) TMI 1285 - HC - CustomsSeeking Bail application for the offence punishable u/s 135 - smuggling - Seizure of gold - HELD THAT - Without going into the merits of the case the complaint itself indicates that the same is to be established based upon the evidence which are six in numbers; the complaint has been filed in the month of April 2024 and the trial has not even started the gold seized is in the possession of the Department. The applicant has no criminal antecedents prima facie the offence appears to be compoundable by virtue of Section 137(3) of the Customs Act and there is nothing on record to demonstrate that the applicant if enlarged on bail would in any way adversely affect the trial I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail. Accordingly the bail application is allowed.
