Court: Chennai

Decided on: Sep-12-2000

Reported in: 2002(141)ELT47(Mad)

R. Jayasimha Babu, J. 1. Counsel contends that the Gold (Control) Act, as it's name indicates, deals with gold and, therefore anything other than gold should be excluded while considering the obligations of persons under that Act.2. The petitioner was possessed of gold ornaments which exceeded in weight 4000 gms. A declaration in respect of such ornaments not having been made, and that fact having subsequently come to light, an order of confiscation had been made. By paying the redemption fine, the petitioner obtained the release of the ornaments, but questioned the confiscation and the levy of the redemption fine, as also the penalty, on the ground that the ornaments in question contained other stones and gems, and if the weight of those stones and gems were to be excluded, the weight of the ornaments would be less than 4000 gms., which would render inapplicable to the case of the petitioner.3. The Gold (Control) Act, which has since been repealed, was enacted in the economic and fina...
