Customs

Levy of penalty u/s 114 - corroborative evidences like statements of the co-noticees - it is clear that the statements of a person made under Section 108 of the Act 1962 should not and cannot be construed as a statement of a co-accused, for when a Customs Officer records a statement under that sections of the Act, he does not act as a Police Officer, but he merely acts as a Revenue Officer, whose duty is to find out whether or not there is an evasion of customs duty in a particular transaction. - HC
