Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the Delhi High Court's order dismissing the Writ Petition, which involved co-accused under the Customs Act. The Court held that the appellant should be treated similarly to the co-accused, as the High Court had remitted the matter back to the Commissioner without addressing the merits. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and directed that the appellant be placed in the same position as the co-accused, thereby allowing the appeal.
