1. The captioned two appeals have been filed by the appellants being aggrieved by the Order of the Commissioner (Appeals) holding that "I have carefully gone through the facts and circumstances of the appeal, submissions made in the course of personal hearing and the Order-in-Original. Statements of the appellants recorded on the spot, at the time of seizure Under Section 108 of Customs Act before the Assistant Director of DRI, Lucknow and the jewellers' report leaves no room to doubt that the seized gold was of foreign marked gold biscuits and as such Section 123 of the Customs Act would apply and the onus of proof shifts upon the appellants. Further, the appellant failed to produce any purchase receipt at the time of seizure and submission of the same after a period of 1V2 year, is nothing but afterthought. In the circumstances, I find myself in total agreement with the findings of the Additional Collector and find no reason to interfere in the Order-in-Original which is legal and p...
