By making this writ petition the petitioner has asked for release of the confiscated goods in terms of the order dated 2nd August 2001 passed by the CEGAT (Customs, Excise and Gold (Control) Appellate Tribunal), Eastern Branch, Calcutta.3.

He has also rightly observed that the smuggled nature of the non-notified items has to be proved by the Revenue by production of concrete evidence and not on the basis of assumption and presumption.
