Gopaldas Udhavdas Ahuja And Anr vs Union Of India And Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the confiscation of primary gold under Section 71(1) of the Gold (Control) Act, 1968, affirming the penalties imposed under Section 74 of the Act. The Court found that the appellants failed to prove their claim of illegal seizure and conscious possession, as they did not file the required declarations and were in violation of the Act's provisions. The judgment of the Bombay High Court was thus confirmed, maintaining the authority's actions regarding the confiscation and penalties.
