Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the imposition of a penalty under Section 112A of the Customs Act, confirming that the appellant intentionally misdeclared the nature of goods in the bills of entry and instructed the supplier to omit the correct description. The Court found no grounds to interfere with the Tribunal's order, thereby dismissing the appeals. This ruling reinforces the principle that intentional misrepresentation in customs declarations warrants penalties under the Customs Act.
