U.K. Enterprises & Anr vs Commissioner Of Customs And Central ...

The Supreme Court upheld the Tribunal's decision to enhance the penalty under Section 114A and the redemption fine under Section 125 of the Customs Act, 1962, from Rs.50,000/- to Rs.10,00,000/- and from Rs.2,50,000/- to Rs.10,00,000/- respectively. The Court found that the appellants did not dispute the valuation of the goods or the differential duty, focusing solely on the penalty enhancement. The ruling reinforces the authority of customs officials to impose penalties for undervaluation and misstatement in customs declarations.
