Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under the Sea Customs Act, 1878, component parts of prohibited articles are also subject to import restrictions. The Court ruled that the Collector of Customs did not err in concluding that the imported nuts and bolts were components of a prohibited item, as the evidence considered was relevant and properly presented. The High Court's dismissal of the writ petition under Article 226 was upheld, affirming that the Customs authorities' decisions are not subject to appeal in writ jurisdiction.
