Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Bombay High Court's decision that had set aside the Collector of Customs' order for confiscation of goods under Section 111 of the Customs Act, 1962. The Court held that the Collector's order was valid as the goods were imported without proper documentation and clearance, thus violating customs regulations. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the confiscation and penalties imposed under Sections 112 and 115 of the Act.
