ORDERN.J. Pandya, J.1. When the petition was filed the matter was very much alive because at pre-detention stage the order passed under National Security Act, popularly known as N.S.A. was sought to be challenged. Inspite of preliminary objection that the matter was filed at pre-detention stage, on 18th June 1996 the matter was admitted after hearing both the sides. Interim relief also came to be granted in terms of prayer clause (b).2. The impugned order was to remain in force for a period of one year.

Decided on: Jul-27-1999

Reported in: (1999)(113)ELT482Tri(Mum.)bai

1. This miscellaneous application was argued by Shri S.N. Kantawala the ld. Advocate.2. In the proceedings leading to the present appeal before the Tribunal certain goods imported by the appellants were seized by the Customs authorities. At the request of the importers, pending the completion of proceedings, the seized goods were provisionally released to the importers against bond backed by a bank guarantee. In the impugned order the Commissioner held the goods as liable to confiscation. He observed that the goods were not available for confiscation and imposed a penalty of Rs. 10 lakhs on the importer appellants.
