Union Of India & Ors vs V

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the release of imported goods and the payment of demurrage charges. It held that the Collector of Customs must release the goods and that the importer is liable for demurrage charges only until September 21, 1990, as per the agreement with customs. The Court affirmed the High Court's direction for the release of goods while clarifying the liability for charges, thus resolving the disputes in favor of the importer regarding the timeline of payment obligations.
